What Time Will Arthur Fils Play Against Frances Tiafoe?
Fils and Tiafoe are on the Day 6 Schedule at Miami Open Presented By Itau 2025 on Monday 24 March 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Arthur Fils, a 20-year-old French player currently ranked 18th in the world, has been steadily climbing the rankings. In 2023, he achieved a new career-high ranking 13 times, breaking into the top 200 in January, the top 100 in May, and the top 50 in July. His career-high ranking of 18 came in March 2025 after reaching the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells Masters 1000 tournament.
In 2024, Fils had an impressive record in ATP 500 events, posting a 17-4 record. He had his biggest career win when he defeated World No. 4 Alexander Zverev to win the Hamburg tournament. He also saved a championship point to win an all-French final against Ugo Humbert in Tokyo. Notably, Fils became the youngest Frenchman since Gael Monfils in 2005 to win an ATP Tour title when he lifted the Lyon title in 2023. He achieved this feat as a wildcard ranked 112th.
Fils has shown promise in Grand Slam events as well. As a 16-year-old ranked 1,035th, he made his qualifying debut at the 2021 Roland Garros and defeated former Top-20 player Bernard Tomic. He advanced to the boys’ singles final and won the doubles title, achieving a career-high junior ranking of No. 3 in the process.
Fils aims to become the first Frenchman since Jeremy Chardy in 2018 to reach the fourth round of both Indian Wells and Miami in the same season. He currently holds a 13-14 record against top 20 players, with 10 wins since July. A win against Frances Tiafoe would also see Fils surpass him in the live ATP rankings, moving up to No. 16.
Frances Tiafoe, a 27-year-old American player, is currently ranked 17th in the world. He achieved a career-high ranking of 10th in June 2023 after winning his third title in Stuttgart. Tiafoe has the distinction of being part of the first American duo to be in the top 10 together since Mardy Fish and John Isner in 2012.

Tiafoe has had success in Grand Slam events, reaching the semifinals of the US Open in both 2022 and 2024. A notable highlight was his victory over 4-time champion Rafael Nadal at the 2022 US Open, becoming the first American men’s semifinalist since Andy Roddick in 2006. Tiafoe also had a significant win at the 2022 Laver Cup, where he helped Team World secure the title by defeating Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the final matches.
In 2018, Tiafoe won his first ATP Tour title at the Delray Beach tournament, becoming the youngest American champion since Roddick in 2002. He went on to win his second ATP Tour title at the 2023 Houston tournament. Tiafoe’s parents emigrated from Sierra Leone, and his father served as the Head of Maintenance at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in Maryland, where Tiafoe and his twin brother trained as children.
Tiafoe recently achieved his 50th ATP Masters 1000 win of his career by defeating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the second round. He looks to build on this milestone and record consecutive wins for the first time since the US Open, aiming to reach the fourth round of the Miami tournament for the fifth time in his career. Tiafoe has a strong record at this event, with previous appearances in the fourth round in 2018, quarterfinals in 2019, and fourth round in 2021 and 2022.
In terms of American ATP Masters 1000 win leaders, Tiafoe is currently in third place with 50 wins, behind Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul. In terms of the most fourth round appearances by American men in Miami event history, Tiafoe is tied with Andre Agassi with 4 appearances, just behind Jim Courier with 7 and John Isner with 6.
