PARIS: French No. 1 Arthur Fils withdrew from Wimbledon on Saturday due to a back injury that forced him out of the French Open. At Roland Garros last month, the 21-year-old was forced to pull out before a third round clash with Russia’s Andrey Rublev because of a lower back stress fracture. He had required treatment during his five-set second round win over Jaume Munar for the problem on the clay in Paris. Fils, ranked 15th in the world, progressed to the last 16 at Wimbledon last year.
