ArthurFils
Arthur Fils is the French right-hander ranked No. 11, with five ATP tour titles and a two-handed backhand built for baseline exchanges.
Overview
Arthur Fils does his most damaging work from the baseline, using a two-handed backhand to absorb pace and redirect it rather than simply block it. The Frenchman, right-handed, steps inside the court when the ball sits up, looking to take time away from opponents, and he is happy to trade heavy cross-court rallies before changing direction.
Fils sits at No. 11 in the ATP singles rankings, the same position as his career high. He reached that mark in the summer of 2026. In five tour-level singles finals he has come away with the trophy each time.
