Fils will seek his spot at the ATP Finals in Brussels

The fight to enter the ATP Finals is heating up, with five spots available for a dozen players. The coming weeks are set to be filled with ups and downs in the Race. One of the main contenders is Arthur Fils, who, despite having a guaranteed spot today, does not have it mathematically secured and will therefore play in the ATP 250 in Brussels, where he will be the top seed.

Currently, Fils has 3,325 points and occupies the eighth position, although he is virtually seventh due to Jannik Sinner's withdrawal because of injury. However, Rafael Jódar is close behind him (2,909 points), and if he manages to win the title at the Masters 1000 in Shanghai, he would surpass him.

Therefore, if the Frenchman manages to earn the 250 points for winning in Brussels, he could head to the Masters 1000 in Paris with greater ease and without having to pull out the calculator, although this seems inevitable. However, if he wants to secure the title in Belgium, he will have to put in a lot of effort along the way.

In the Round of 16, he could face Jaume Munar, who reached the semifinals at the ATP 500 in Tokyo, in the quarterfinals against Alex Michelsen, and Zizou Bergs, the conqueror of Carlos Alcaraz in Shanghai, in the semifinals. Meanwhile, on the other side of the draw, Jiri Lehecka appears as the second seed, and Fran Cerúndolo as the third seed.

Also noteworthy is the presence of Holger Rune, who will seek his first ATP victory a year after his serious Achilles tendon injury. He already achieved two victories in the Davis Cup, but on the men's circuit, he fell in the early rounds of the ATP 500 in Tokyo and the Masters 1000 in Shanghai.
