At the Barcelona tournament, he has a 3-1 record, reaching the quarterfinals in 2024. Fils had a breakthrough season in 2023, reaching the Top 200 in January, Top 100 in May, and Top 50 in July.

Fils had a successful run in 2024 ATP 500 events, with a 17-4 record. He won the Hamburg tournament, defeating No. 4 Zverev, and also won the Tokyo tournament, saving a championship point against Humbert in an all-French final.

He also reached the semifinals at Montpellier and Marseille in 2023.
In his earlier years, Fils made an impact as a junior player. As a 16-year-old, he defeated former Top-20 player Tomic in his Grand Slam qualifying debut at the 2021 Roland Garros. He also reached the final in the boys’ singles and won the boys’ doubles title alongside Mpetshi Perricard.
