Arthur Fils is on fire. The French tennis player has come back strong from his back injury suffered in 2025, and every major tournament he plays in is synonymous with good results. Today, he eliminated Lorenzo Musetti to reach the semifinals of the Barcelona Open 2026, and in the press conference, he talked about the rise of his upcoming rival in the semifinals: Rafa Jódar.

The level of Fils and Rafa Jódar could indicate that the match this Saturday on the Rafael Nadal Court has all the ingredients to be one of the best of the tournament, or even the best. The French player acknowledged that he had not watched the Spanish player play until this week, but he predicted a great future for him and praised the amount of emerging talent coming from Spain. Everything to be decided tomorrow.

Full press conference of Arthur Fils after defeating Musetti in the Barcelona Open 2026

Victory against Musetti

Today was a great match, against a very tough opponent, especially on clay where he is one of the best on the circuit. I am very happy with the match, with the serve, the forehand, and even my backhand today. It was very good.

Confidence after saving match point in his debut against Atmane

Well, yes, somewhat. I feel that even if I have a match point to save, it is not the same pressure anymore. I was saving points in the match, so when it's, I don't know, 2-0 for the other in the first set, it's not a big problem for me. It's still a long way and there's a lot of match to play when I am in disadvantageous situations, so there is no more pressure now.

Similarities between Barcelona and Roland Garros in the atmosphere

Well, the courts are very different, but the atmosphere feels almost the same. When I talk, I always say that I feel almost at home. I had practiced with Sergi Bruguera here. I come here very often, so I feel very good in Barcelona. There are many French people here too, a lot of support, and I think the Spanish people like me a lot here, so it is very good. I really enjoy playing here.

Better level than before the injury

I think I have played better now. Maybe it's less impressive, less powerful, but I believe I am much more consistent now. Much more focused, better serve, better understanding of the game... So yes, I feel better.

Evolution of Jódar and tennis in Spain

I don't know what's happening in Spain right now, but they have a lot of young talents. First, Carlos, and when Carlos is not here, you feel good, and then you have a kid like Jódar, who is hitting the ball incredibly. He is a good guy. I think he is going to be very good, he has a lot of talent. It's the first time I see him play this week, I didn't know him, but what I see is that he is a great talent.
