    ATP Tour: Arthur Fils Cuts Short Gasquet's Title Defence In Auckland

    By IANS News January 09, 2024 • 21:34 PM View: 793
    Next Gen ATP Finals: Arthur Fils, who had a breakout season last year on the ATP Tour, continued his good run in 2024 with a winning start in the ASB Classic here on Tuesday.

    The 19-year-old Frenchman downed his countryman Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-4 as the sixth seed made his debut in this event this week. Fils powered 23 winners, including nine aces as he wrapped up a 69-minute triumph against the 2023 champion.

    The only teenager in the Top 50 of the ATP Rankings, Fils was the youngest ATP Tour titlist in 2023 after winning in Lyon last May. The 19-year-old, who also advanced to the championship match at the Next Gen ATP Finals in Jeddah in December, now leads Gasquet 2-0 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series.
