Arthur Fils has announced the end of his professional collaboration with coach Sébastien Grosjean. The decision, described as mutual, marks the conclusion of a 15-month partnership that began in late 2023. During this time, Grosjean, a former world number four and Davis Cup captain, played a pivotal role in Fils’ development on the ATP circuit.
Under Grosjean’s guidance, Fils achieved significant milestones, including breaking into the top 20 of the ATP rankings and securing two ATP 500 titles in Hamburg and Tokyo. The young Frenchman also reached the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells Masters, his best performance in an ATP 1000 event to date. These accomplishments have solidified his position as one of the rising stars in tennis.
Despite their success, Grosjean’s absence during Indian Wells raised questions about the future of their partnership. Fils has expressed gratitude for Grosjean’s support and wished him well in his future endeavors. As Fils continues his journey, he will be accompanied by Croatian coach Ivan Cinkus, who has been part of his team and is expected to take on a more prominent role moving forward.
This decision comes at a time when Fils is poised to become the top-ranked French player, a testament to his rapid ascent in the sport. The tennis world will be watching closely as he navigates this new chapter in his career.
