In Turin, Arthur Fils has the chance to confirm this new status. The record of 39 wins lends weight to his first appearance in the masters' court, while his record against the top 10 and a disappointing week in Paris show its limits.

Despite the injuries that cut short his season, Arthur Fils won 39 matches on the main tour. That total is a record for him.

This debut measures the status he must confirm. The 39 wins accumulated on the main tour sit alongside more fragile results against top-10 players and a week in Paris that has already disappointed.

Against the top 10, the record is less favorable. He has won only 50% of those matches, five wins in ten meetings, according to Jeu, set et maths.

The proportion is the same as in 2023, a year in which he won two matches out of four against top-10 players. It exceeds the 38% of 2024 and the 33% of 2025, Jeu, set et maths adds.

The contrast is also recent. His week at the Paris Masters 1000 was short and limited to a round of 16. That run has already disappointed.
