ZipRecruiter Player Resume: Say hello to Arthur Fils

France is known for three things we all love: croissants, fromageries and tennis.

When it comes to tennis, the country should be proud to be represented by newcomer Arthur Fils. He's not a big cheese yet, but the 19-year-old is quickly becoming a stand-out young talent on tour.

In 2023, Fils earned his first singles title in Lyon, becoming the youngest Frenchman in nearly two decades to lift an ATP trophy. He also defeated two Top 10 players: Stefanos Tsitsipas (semifinal, Antwerp) and Casper Ruud (quarterfinal, Hamburg).

Fils also had the opportunity to compete in two unique events: Laver Cup, and the Next Gen ATP Finals. In Vancouver, he teamed with fellow Europeans Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud, Hubert Hurkacz, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Gael Monfils.

"It's amazing to be part of the team," Fils said. "We have great champions like this. I mean, I'm the new one, so the rookie."

In Jeddah, he played in the final professional tennis match of 2023, when he lost a competitive five-setter (each set played to four games) in the Next Gen ATP Finals title match against Hamad Medjedovic.

Fils will look to return to the winner's circle, defeat more top-tier opponents and compete on more big stages in 2024. His ranking will help: he's currently at No. 36, a career-high, and he boasts endorsements from fan favorites Lacoste and Babolat.

"I have gone through a lot of emotions throughout the season," Fils told reporters at the late-season Paris Masters. "But I'm learning as I go along."

There’s a reason Fils was awarded 2023 ATP Newcomer of the Year. As the 2024 season kicks off Down Under, keep an eye out for this young Frenchman and his adaptable game.
