Arthur Fils Gears Up for Rolex Paris Masters
With a surge of confidence, Arthur Fils approaches the prestigious Rolex Paris Masters. Following a season filled with ups and downs, which saw him clinch a title in Tokyo and reach the semifinals in Basel, the French number two is eager to build on his recent successes in front of a home crowd. As he prepares for his opening match against Marin Cilic, Fils took the opportunity to share his thoughts with L’Equipe.
The Mindset of a Rising Star
Despite his recent entry into the Top 20 rankings, Fils remains grounded and focused. He emphasizes that ranking positions do not influence his performance mindset: “It doesn’t change anything for me. Whether I’m 20th, 25th, or 15th, I will continue to approach each match with the same mentality. The Rolex Paris Masters is a colossal tournament. I’m thrilled to play in Paris, there’s no doubt about that, but I aim to treat it like I would any other tournament. My intention is to replicate the approach I had in Tokyo, playing without undue pressure.”
Hopes and Ambitions for the Tournament
After experiencing an early exit in the first round last year, Fils is hopeful that the enthusiastic support from the crowd will elevate his performance this time around. He remarked on his past experience: “Yes, it would be fantastic. Last year, I didn’t quite handle the situation well after my loss. I arrived feeling fatigued. This year, I’m optimistic that the atmosphere will be electric. Given that it’s my final event here, finishing with a positive outcome would be ideal.” A strong showing in this tournament would not only validate his recent performances but also set the stage for future competitions.
Looking Towards the Future
Fils’s ambition is not just to perform well at the Rolex Paris Masters but to use this opportunity as a stepping stone for his career. With determination etched on his face, he is poised to harness the energy of the Parisian crowd to fuel his game. As he steps onto the court, he aims to channel the excitement of the fans into a formidable performance on the international stage.
In summary, Fils is keen to kick off the Rolex Paris Masters, marking his final tournament of the year. In peak form, he is hoping to pull off an impressive victory. As he strives to finish the season on a high note, all eyes will be on him to see if he can deliver under the pressure of home support and high expectations. The journey ahead is filled with promise, and with each swing of his racket, Arthur Fils is determined to carve a niche for himself in the competitive world of professional tennis.
