Zverev wants to defend his reign in Rome: defeats Fils and sets up quarterfinal with Musetti

While all the attention is on Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev claims his share of the spotlight. The German is defending his title at the ATP Rome and proves that the Foro Italico suits him perfectly after defeating Arthur Fils by 7-6(3), 6-1 in one hour and 47 minutes. However, his opponent in the quarterfinals will be even more challenging, as he will face one of the local idols and one of the most in-form players at the moment, Lorenzo Musetti.

Tsitsipas and Fils get tangled up at the net at the end of their match

Although it didn't escalate, it's still striking to see these kinds of scenes in professional tennis. That moment where the two players shake hands at the end of the match, where the hatchet must be buried, where often this rule is skipped to exchange one last touch. It happened this Sunday in the Masters 1000 in Rome between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Arthur Fils after the Frenchman defeated the Greek again, just like what happened in Madrid a few weeks ago. The argument is barely audible, but it's clear that one of them was not happy with the match outcome.

Arthur Fils explains his clash with Tsitsipas: "I told him at the net that.."

Tension moment experienced this morning at the Masters 1000 in Rome between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Arthur Fils. Right after the match point, both tennis players engaged in a heated exchange of words at the net, although we never understood what sparked it. In his post-match interview, the Frenchman explained to Tennis TV microphones what he said to the Greek at that moment.

"It was a joke, I told him at the net that he was playing incredible in the first set, he was killing me with his forehand and backhand, opening the court on the left and right. It was the truth, I couldn't do much. Then in the second set, I started to find the rhythm and how to fight. I'm happy to finish strong with the serve because, if you let him play, I believe Stefanos is one of the best clay-court players. His forehand is a powerful weapon, he is a great champion, if you don't pressure him, you're dead," commented the Frenchman.

Son of the key to his improvement and mention an important aspect of his tennis

Arthur Fils is one of the standout names at the start of the season. The Frenchman has been very consistent, an aspect in which he was not always excellent, and has stealthily approached the top-10 of the rankings. Before his debut in Rome, Arthur gave an interview to Tennis TV and revealed the reason behind his improvement in this 2025: "We have worked a lot on consistency during training, not getting crazy about everything. We try to understand why I should play each particular shot, preparing to make that shot, building the point better. Additionally, it is hugely important that I stay focused regularly. When I am not focused, I make a lot of mistakes, get more and more frustrated, and lose early in each tournament. I think that progression is becoming more and more visible". The Frenchman will make his debut in the upcoming days against the winner of the duel between Griekspoor and Kecmanovic.

The young tennis player who impresses Boris Becker: "I see him as the future of tennis"

Boris Becker was another of the great protagonists at the Laureus Awards ceremony that took place yesterday evening in Madrid. The German has always been optimistic about the future of our sport and, beyond his countless praises for Alcaraz or Sinner, he wanted to show his admiration and hope in another young player destined to reach the top 10 in the next decade. None other than Arthur Fils: "I am a fan of Arthur Fils in particular. He has a very complete tennis game. I see him as the face of the future of tennis. I love his year-by-year evolution and the fact that he is only 20 years old", said Becker, who was truly captivated by the French player.
