Arthur Fils Continues Dominance Over Stefanos Tsitsipas in Miami

Fils leads 4-0 in head-to-head as he looks to upset the Greek star again

Mar. 22, 2026 at 12:04pm

The ATP Masters 1000 Miami 1/16-finals continue to produce intriguing matchups, with Matteo Berrettini looking locked in after two clean wins, Karen Khachanov's experience and level expected to make the difference against a potentially tired Martin Landaluce, and rising French star Arthur Fils continuing his dominance over Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Why it matters

Fils' strong form and head-to-head advantage over Tsitsipas make him a dangerous underdog in this matchup, while Berrettini and Khachanov are both looking to advance deep in the Miami draw against less experienced opponents.

The details

Berrettini has won three of his last five matches and looked impressive in straight-set wins over Muller and Bublik this week in Miami. Vacherot has also won three of his last five, but Berrettini's experience and comfort playing in the U.S. should give him the edge. Landaluce has won four of his last five to qualify for the main draw, but he may be fatigued after a three-set battle in the second round, while Khachanov' s semifinal run here last year and dominant win over Bautista-Agut make him the favorite. Fils has won four of his last five and leads Tsitsipas 4-0 in their head-to-head, with his backhand expected to cause problems for the Greek star.
