In great form since the start of the season with the victory in Acapulco and a final in Rotterdam, the Australian Alex De Minaur could not resist the blows of Arthur Fils (7-5/2-0) during the second round of the Barcelona tournament.
The Frenchman, however, found himself trailing from the start of the first set. While serving for the set (3-5), the Australian completely broke down and offered his next three faceoffs to the Frenchman, giving him the first set and an entry break in the second (7-5/2 -0)
Arthur Fils will face Serbian Lajovic from this Friday.
