Fils retires in Rome after four games

French tennis player Arthur Fils retired from his opening match at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome on Saturday after just four games due to a physical issue, with Italian qualifier Andrea Pellegrino leading 4-0 at the time. Fils, who was a semi-finalist in Madrid and champion in Barcelona last month, leaves Rome with a 22-7 season record ahead of Roland Garros. Pellegrino, ranked World No. 155, advances to the third round where he will face 20th seed Frances Tiafoe.
