Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Arthur Fils, Fils currently leads the head-to-head record with a score of 1-0. The match will take place in Antwerp, Belgium, on a hard court surface. In their previous encounter, Fils emerged as the winner, defeating Tsitsipas with scores of 7-6(5) 7-6(4).

Tsitsipas, who is 26 years old, is currently ranked as the world number 11. He achieved his career-high ranking of number 3 in August 2021. Throughout his career, Tsitsipas has accumulated an impressive record of 11 wins against top-3 opponents, including 2 wins against the world number 1, 4 wins against the world number 2, and 5 wins against the world number 3.

Tsitsipas has reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam six times, with notable runs including the 2021 Roland Garros and the 2023 Australian Open, where he reached the finals but lost to Novak Djokovic on both occasions. At the age of 20, Tsitsipas won the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals title, and a year later, at 21, he captured the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals title, becoming the youngest champion of the latter tournament since Lleyton Hewitt accomplished the feat in 2001.

With a total of 11 ATP Tour titles to his name, Tsitsipas has been successful in winning prestigious tournaments such as the ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo in 2021, 2022, and 2024. However, he is still seeking his first ATP 500 title, having lost all 11 finals he has reached in this category. Notably, Tsitsipas achieved the remarkable feat of defeating the “Big 3″—Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal—before the age of 21, making him the youngest of 30 players to achieve this milestone.

For this particular match, Tsitsipas aims to reach his 54th tour-level semi-final and his fifth of the 2024 season. He is also looking to reach his second ATP 500 semi-final of the year after reaching the final in Barcelona, where he lost to Casper Ruud. On hard courts, Tsitsipas has struggled against top 20 players this year and holds a record of 1-5, with his lone victory coming against the world number 18, Frances Tiafoe, in the ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells.

On the other side, Arthur Fils is 20 years old and currently ranked as the world number 20, which is his career-high ranking. Fils has experienced remarkable progress in his ranking, achieving new career-highs on 13 different occasions in 2023. He made his breakthrough by entering the Top 200 in January, the Top 100 in May, and the Top 50 in July of that year. Fils reached his peak ranking of number 20 in July 2024.

Fils has achieved significant victories during his career, including equalling his biggest win against the world number 4, Alexander Zverev, to win the 2024 Hamburg title. He then continued his winning streak by saving a championship point in the all-French final to defeat Ugo Humbert and clinch the 2024 Tokyo title. Fils also made history as the youngest Frenchman to win an ATP Tour title since Gael Monfils in 2005 when he won the 2023 Lyon title as a wildcard ranked 112th.

In terms of his performance in tournaments, Fils reached his first ATP Tour semi-final in Montpellier in February 2023, becoming the youngest Frenchman to achieve this feat since Richard Gasquet in 2004. He then advanced to his second ATP Tour semi-final in Marseille. Fils also had a successful debut in Grand Slam qualifying at the age of 16, defeating former top-20 player Bernard Tomic at the 2021 Roland Garros. He reached the boys’ singles final and won the boys’ doubles title, achieving a career-high junior ranking of number 3 during the 2021 season.

Coming into this match, Fils is currently on a 12-match winning streak in ATP 500 events, having won titles in Hamburg and Tokyo. He is looking to reach his ninth ATP Tour semi-final, with a balanced record of 4 wins and 4 losses in semi-finals. Notably, this semi-final in Antwerp will be his fourth and most significant semi-final on indoor hard courts, following his previous successful runs in Montpellier, Marseille, and Antwerp, all in 2023. Since July, Fils has been in good form against top 20 players, with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss. His only loss came against the world number 15, Ugo Humbert, in the first round of the Montreal tournament.
