Tsitsipas and Fils are on the Day 5 Schedule at Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell 2025 on Friday 18 April 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?

In the quarterfinal match between Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece and Arthur Fils from France, Fils currently leads their head-to-head record 2-0. They previously faced each other in the 2023 Antwerp Championship, where Fils won in straight sets, 7-6(5) 7-6(4), and in the 2024 Basel Championship, where Fils again emerged victorious, this time with a score of 7-6(5) 6-3.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, 26 years old and ranked No. 16 in the world, achieved his career-high ranking of No. 3 in August 2021. He has an impressive record of 11 wins against top-3 opponents, including 2 wins against the current world No. 1, 4 wins against the world No. 2, and 5 wins against the world No. 3. Tsitsipas has reached the semifinals of six Grand Slam tournaments, notably making it to the finals of the 2021 Roland Garros and the 2023 Australian Open, where he finished as the runner-up on both occasions, losing to Novak Djokovic. At the age of 20, Tsitsipas won the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals, and at 21, he became the youngest champion of the Nitto ATP Finals since Lleyton Hewitt in 2001. He has captured 12 ATP Tour titles, including victories at the Monte-Carlo Masters in 2021, 2022, and 2024, as well as his first ATP 500 title at the 2025 Dubai Championship. Tsitsipas achieved the remarkable feat of defeating the “Big 3” (Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal) before turning 21, making him the youngest of only 30 players to accomplish this. In the Barcelona tournament, Tsitsipas is playing in his sixth quarterfinal in his seventh appearance and aims to secure his fifth semifinal spot. However, he has been struggling to record a win against top-20 opponents since defeating No. 18 Baez at the Paris Olympics in July last year, with a winless streak of 0-6. Tsitsipas has also struggled in tour-level quarterfinals since May, with only one win over Berrettini in the Dubai quarterfinals in February.

Arthur Fils, a 20-year-old French player currently ranked No. 14 in the world (his career-high ranking), has had an impressive 2025 season with a record of 16-7, including reaching the quarterfinals in five tournaments. In the 2023 season, Fils made significant progress in his rankings, breaking into the top 200 in January, top 100 in May, and top 50 in July. In April 2025, he reached his career-high ranking of No. 14 after becoming the youngest player to reach the quarterfinals of all three ATP Masters 1000 events in one year. In 2024, Fils had a successful run in ATP 500 events, with a record of 17-4, including wins over world No. 4 Zverev to win the Hamburg Championship and saving a championship point to defeat Humbert in the all-French final in Tokyo. At the age of 18 years and 11 months, Fils became the youngest Frenchman to win an ATP Tour title since Gael Monfils in 2005, when he won the Lyon title as the No. 112-ranked wild card. Fils has shown his potential in his young career, reaching ATP Tour semifinals at Montpellier and Marseille in 2023. He made an impressive Grand Slam qualifying debut at the 2021 French Open, defeating former top-20 player Tomic as a 16-year-old ranked 1,035th. He also reached the boys’ singles final and won the boys’ doubles title in the same tournament.

In the current season, Fils has not been able to secure a win in ATP Tour quarterfinals, with a record of 0-4. He will hope to change that trend and earn his first quarterfinal win since defeating Tsitsipas in the Basel tournament last October, which propelled him to his 10th ATP Tour semifinal. Fils has a positive record against top-20 players, with a record of 16 wins and 15 losses, including 13 wins since July. If he advances to the semifinals, Fils will be the sixth and youngest French player to achieve this feat in the history of the Barcelona tournament in the Open Era. The previous French players who reached the semifinals in Barcelona were Benoit Paire in 2016, Henri Leconte and Thierry Tulasne in 1985, Yannick Noah in 1981, and Francois Jauffret in 1968 and 1974.
