Fils Getting Back to His Best
Arthur Fils started the season in February after spending six months recovering from a back injury. He reached the quarter-finals in Montpellier and lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the Qatar Open final.
The 21-year-old ended the hard court swing with two positive performances, losing to Alexander Zverev in the Indian Wells quarter-finals and Jiri Lehecka in the Miami semi-finals.
The Frenchman returned to action in Barcelona where he won the title. He was on the verge of an early exit in the first round, saving two match points in a 4-6 6-4 7-6 victory over Terence Atmane.
Fils eased past Brandon Nakashima and Lorenzo Musetti before coming back to beat Rafael Jodar in 3 sets. He defeated Andrey Rublev 6-2 7-6 in the final to claim his fourth ATP Tour title.
Buse Closing in on Top 50
Ignacio Buse became a Top 100 player in February and consolidated by reaching the semi-finals in Rio de Janeiro. He failed to qualify in Indian Wells and lost to Damir Dzumhur in the first round in Miami.
The Peruvian got back onto clay in Marrakech, defeating Matteo Berrettini before a narrow defeat to Camilo Ugo Carabelli. He lost to David Goffin in the first qualifier in Monte Carlo and Corentin Moutet in the first round in Barcelona.
The 22-year-old has turned that form around in Madrid where he thrashed Adrian Mannarino 6-4 6-2 in 83 minutes. He won 61% of his 2nd serves and saved one break point.
Verdict
Ignacio Buse is a dangerous opponent on clay and Arthur Fils will be playing his first match this week. I think Fils will be too good, but he might have to work hard to advance in Madrid.
