Arthur Fils says cornrows are his signature after Alcaraz and Cobolli copy the look

French tennis player Arthur Fils, 22, was interviewed by Prakash Amritraj on the Tennis Channel after his second‑round victory at the Canadian Open in Montreal. When asked about fellow players Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Italy’s Flavio Cobolli adopting similar cornrow hairstyles, Fils replied that he prefers them with their “normal hair” and that the cornrows should remain his own trademark, delivering the comment with humor.

The remark generated a wave of fan reactions on social media, with some praising his playful stance and others urging him to keep the style for upcoming events such as the US Open. The incident highlights a light‑hearted fashion discussion within the ATP tour, separate from the players’ on‑court performances.
