For me, it\u2019s not possible to even consider that.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the most I\u2019ve done in my career is maybe eight or nine. We\u2019re at eight today, we\u2019ll try to reach nine.\u201d<\/p>\n The 21-year-old added: \u201cIt feels good, it\u2019s a good habit. You get to the court, you play, you win, you go back to the hotel, you do your treatment, you come back the next day and you win again. It\u2019s a really good thing, it\u2019s not common, so when it happens I just enjoy it.<\/p>\n \u201cFor now, I\u2019m just trying to win one more, then we\u2019ll see about those players who win 20 in a row or 17 in a row. For me, right now, it\u2019s not possible. Maybe someday.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Jannik Sinner calls out Madrid Open organisers as he asks for change after extending win streak<\/a> The post Madrid Open: Arthur Fils gives blunt answer to Jannik Sinner winning streak question<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arthur Fils has been outstanding since his comeback from a serious back injury, and he is currently on the longest winning streak of his ATP Tour career.
