The Frenchman, who will not finally reappear at the Australian Open either, is not in a hurry to return and prefers to do so when he is 100% recovered from his back problems.
Arthur Fils
The most positive news doesn't come with Arthur Fils. The French player, who suffered a stress fracture in the lumbar area at Roland Garros, has been out of action for almost six months, with a brief pause of two matches at the Masters 1000 in Canada, and for now, his return to the courts will have to be delayed. His comeback was planned for next week at the ATP in Hong Kong, however, he had to withdraw from participating, with the Open in Australia being in two weeks. It remains to be seen if the Frenchman will be ready for Melbourne or if he will have to continue postponing his comeback.

Arthur Fils' recovery seems to be on the right track. The Frenchman is already back to training after missing almost the second half of the season due to his back injury. Additionally, he will be at the 2026 Australian Open as his name appears on the Entry List. But the Frenchman looks beyond the short term and has entered the Montpellier ATP, which will take place from February 1st to 6th this year. A sign that he is ready to return to the competition rhythm.

The Frenchman released a short documentary explaining how he has been handling his injury since withdrawing at Roland Garros, noting that he prefers to come back at 100%. Australia, too soon.
We mention several names that promise to once again display their best tennis after being sidelined by injuries. Will we see them shine in 2026?
We have selected the top ten battles of a year filled with great rivalries, titanic matches, and wars for the history books. Which will be the best match of 2025?
It seems that good news is starting to come in for Arthur Fils, after some rumors hinted that his back injury could lead to retirement, the French player himself denied it and ensured that his recovery process is progressing as expected. And he wasn't far off because he has already picked up the racket again four months after his last match. It will be interesting to see in what physical condition he arrives in 2026.
Arthur Fils is BACK to training before the start of the 2026 season. 🇫🇷🔙

The young Frenchman describes the injury he suffers from his point of view, clarifying that he has no concerns about his future.
And suddenly, more than one is asking the same question: what happened to Arthur Fils? Where is the Frenchman? He hasn't played since the Toronto Masters in July, where he lost in the third round to Lehecka. Currently ranked 40th, the Frenchman has been struggling with back issues that, as rumors start to suggest in his country, may be much more serious than initially thought. The future is uncertain for Fils, but we don't want to sow panic either. Let's wait to see him compete in 2026, whenever that may be, although everything indicates that it won't be an easy recovery.
And beyond Roland Garros 2025, the comeback in July was way too rushed. And the consequences are very bad.

Complicated season that Arthur Fils is experiencing, as he has decided to postpone his return until 2026. The Frenchman announced his official withdrawal from the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025, an event always special to him as it is played at home, and he will not return to the circuit until next year. Following a first semester of the year where he displayed glimpses of his full potential, the L5 vertebra fracture in his back has become his worst nightmare, the reason why he has been practically absent in the second half of 2025. Let's hope to see him soon back at 100%.
