Fils continues fine form to win Barcelona title

Image source: Getty ImagesBy Phil CartwrightBBC Sports journalist32 minutes agoArthur Fils, who had been unable to play for the remainder of the 2025 tennis season due to a back injury, has made it to the finals of several tournaments since his return to the tour in early February. He lost to Carlos Alcaraz at the Qatar Open final but reached the quarter-finals in Indian Wells, and the last four at Miami. It’s been a tough eight months with the injury, but we’re now back on the court. I’m happy about that. “Rublev told Fils, “The way you’re playing is ridiculous. You proved you’re a top player on the Tour. “Meanwhile,” Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, won the men’s doubles by beating France’s Pierre-Hugues Herbert, and Italy’s Andrea Vavassori, 6-3 6-4. It is the first title for the British duo in 2026, after they won the men’s doubles title at Wimbledon in the summer of 2018. It’s important to get back on track and feel comfortable in these moments. I am satisfied with the week. “Related topicsTennisMore about this storyLive results, order of play and scoresGet tennis news delivered straight to your mobile16 August 2025

Image He tipped Jack Farrimond’s kick to the corner into the path of Eckersley, who touched down for his fourth try in as many meetings with the Tigers.Castleford’s response after the break came via a clever pass from Tom Weaver as he sent Ashworth through to spin to the line under pressure from the hosts’ defence.The visitors were not done there and Mapapalangi raced down the wing as Castleford kept up the pressure, eventually receiving the ball again and chasing his own kick to ground his second try of the afternoon.Cas asserted themselves further when Lawler powered over the line and could have put the gloss on a thumping win when Weaver went in, but his score was chalked off for obstruction in the build-up.Wigan: Field; Sambou, Eckersley, Farrell, Marshall; Keighran, Farrimond; Eseh, O’Neill, Thompson, Nsemba, Partington, Ellis.Interchanges: Mago, Forber, McDermott, Kerr.Castleford: Windley; Ravalawa, McIntosh, Mapapalangi, Qareqare; Asi, Weaver; Atoni, Hood, Lawler, Lane, Mellor, Stimson.Interchanges: Greacen, Ashworth, Hall, Hirst.Referee: James Vella.Related topicsCastleford TigersRugby LeagueWigan Warriors
