Fils retires after 22 minutes in Rome opener against wild-card Pellegrino

Arthur Fils (No 15) walked off Court Pietrangeli after 22 minutes and four games, struggling with what appeared to be a physical issue against Italian wild card Andrea Pellegrino (No 155) — the third round goes to the home player without a single completed set. The Frenchman, fresh from a Madrid semi-final last week and projected to meet Jannik Sinner in the round of 16, leaves Rome before he could really arrive.

Sinner opens Rome with clinical Ofner win as Masters streak stretches to 29

While Aryna Sabalenka, Jasmine Paolini, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Ben Shelton all fell out of Rome on the same afternoon, Jannik Sinner was the pole of stability. The Italian (No 1) eased past Sebastian Ofner 6-3, 6-4 on Campo Centrale to extend his run at Masters 1000 level to 29 matches – and to put one more match between him and the only Masters trophy still missing from his collection.
