Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reports:
- Arthur Fils split with long-time coach Sébastien Grosjean in March 2025, after about 15 months together, with no immediate replacement announced at that time. The news noted Grosjean’s departure occurred despite Fils reaching a first ATP 1000 quarterfinal in Indian Wells that year.
- In May 2025, Fils withdrew from Roland Garros due to a back stress fracture, with the team indicating the injury could sideline him for about four to six weeks, potentially affecting Wimbledon preparations.
- During 2025 he remained active but faced health and form setbacks, including ongoing discussion around his coach situation and his ability to compete at the highest level while injured.
- His status for late 2025 into 2026 included efforts to return from injury and regain form, with coverage noting a path back to the top levels of tennis once fully fit.
Illustration: a typical arc for Fils in this period included a breakthrough (ATP 1000 quarterfinal), a coaching change, followed by a back injury forcing a pause from Grand Slams.
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest confirmed updates and provide a concise timeline with sources, or focus on how back injuries have impacted young players’ schedules in 2025–2026.
