WATCH: Arthur Fils defeats Francisco Cerundolo in the 2023 Lyon final

LYON, France (AP) — Arthur Fils, an 18-year-old from France, won his first ATP title Saturday by beating Francisco Cerundolo 6-3, 7-5 in the final of the Open Parc Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes Lyon.

"I will remember this forever," Fils said.

He is the youngest champion on the men's tennis tour in 2023 and earned a spot in the Top 100 for the first time—just one of two teenagers in that elite group as the start of the French Open arrives Sunday at Roland Garros in Paris.

At No. 112 entering the clay-court event in Lyon, Fils became the lowest-ranked player to win an ATP trophy this season.
