Arthur Fils Forced to Retire Mid-Match as Injury Halts Swiss Indoors Quarterfinal Campaign
Arthur Filsâ luck with injuries just keeps on getting worse. His Swiss Indoors campaign has come to an abrupt end as he was forced to retire against Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals. Trailing 6-2, 2-0, Fils opted to retire, and it was suspected that lower back pain was the reason behind his decision. This withdrawal comes just days before the Paris Masters and could even affect his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals.
Fils was the inferior player from the get-go as Fritz took the early lead and never let go of it. The American gained three breaks of serve in the opening set and got another in the second set before Fils retired. The Frenchmanâs physical condition deteriorated in the first set, and he had to take a medical timeout while trailing 5-2. Things only got worse in the second set, and thus Fils pulled out of the match. While it felt that back problems had come back to haunt him, he later gave a different reason for his withdrawal.

Welcome to the top 10: Rafael Jódar makes history as first player to achieve feat in debut season
Rafael Jódar will break into the ATP top 10 for the first time on Monday, becoming the first player to achieve the milestone during his debut season on the circuit. The 20-year-old Spaniard secured the historic breakthrough after Taylor Fritz lost to Valentin Vacherot in the Swiss Indoors Basel semi-finals, with the Monegasque winning 7-6(5), 6-3.
The result gave Jódar a remarkable reward just two days after his own campaign in Basel came to an end. He had lost a closely contested second-round match against Vacherot, going down 7-6(4), 2-6, 7-6(5), but the Swiss player subsequently eliminated Holger Rune and reached the semi-finals before overcoming Fritz.
