Arthur Fils wins in 4 sets for his entry into the Australian Open

Son was trailing 6-3, 5-4, 15-0 serving Virtanen and did not display an exceptional level of play. In the second set, he conceded a blank break at 4-4, notably making numerous gross errors. But the break immediately seemed to have sounded the wake-up call for the Frenchman who finished with a bang against the 92nd in the world, guilty of 12 double faults (7-6). Arthur Fils finally won the last two sets by the same score of 6-4 to win in 4 sets, in 2h48 (3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4,6-4).
