Arthur Fils accidentally hit a young fan with his serve. He immediately gave her his wristband. Nice gift. ❤️
French young tennis star Arthur Fils showcased another side of his personality during the European Open clash.
The 19-year-old defeated Estonia’s Mark Lajal in the second round of the competition in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
During that match, Fils accidentally hit a young fan with his serve. However, he responded superbly and instantly gave her his wristband.
Fils is now set to face off Peru’s Juan Pablo Varillas in the quarterfinal of the event on Thursday. It will be the first time the two will clash on the tennis court.
The Bondoufle-born will be hoping to get another positive result and continue his journey towards winning an ATP event.
Fils is one of the most highly-rated young men’s singles tennis players current playing in the circuit.
However, he could not live up to the hype in the major events in 2023 where despite playing in the main round of the three Grand Slams, he did not qualify for the third round or beyond in any of the events.
Fils’ most notable performance came in the US Open where he was knocked out after losing the second-round tie to Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi in a five-set thriller with a score of 3-6, 7-5, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4.
