💨 Abstract

Arthur Fils, the 14th-seeded French tennis player, withdrew from the French Open due to a stress fracture in his lower back, which may sideline him for at least a month. Fils, 20, decided to stop playing to avoid a longer recovery period. He had been experiencing back pain, which worsened during a match on Thursday. Fils hopes to recover in time for Wimbledon, starting June 30.
