Son enjoys a huge crack

A qualification certainly very special. This Wednesday, the French Arthur Fils, 112th player in the world and beneficiary of a wild card, validated his ticket for the quarter-finals of the ATP tournament in Lyon, on clay, after the disqualification of his opponent of the day, namely the Swede Mikael Ymer, 53rd player in the world, after 1h01 of play. During a particularly disputed first round, but the Frenchman was then about to serve to win it. At 1-1, the Habs were the very first to break. Before losing his advantage at 3-2, despite a first break point saved. At 4-4, Arthur Fils obtained three new break points, but without success.

Mr. Ymer has completely lost his nerve

On his next face-off, the lower ranked of the two had to save one in turn, which would then have allowed his opponent of the day to glean, already, this first round. The two players were then still in this famous first set. And at 5-5, after being broken in the eleventh game, despite a first ball saved, on a very nice winning cross passing from his opponent of the day, the Swede completely lost his nerves, before coming to smash his racket on the referee’s own chair. The supervisor of this tournament then rendered his decision. A final decision. And which thus benefits the Frenchman, who qualifies for his third quarter-final in an ATP 250 tournament.
