Andrey Rublev vs Arthur Fils H2H | Head to Head Record & Stats

Andrey Rublev and Arthur Fils have met twice on the ATP Tour, with Fils now leading 2–1 after winning the 2026 Barcelona Open final 6-2, 7-6 (7-2) on Sunday 19 April. Fils won their most recent encounter on clay — a convincing 6-2, 6-3 victory at the Monte-Carlo Masters in April 2025 — while Rublev took their first meeting on hard courts in Hong Kong in January 2024. The series is young, the surface split is clean, and Fils now holds a decisive edge after his Barcelona title victory going into the clay season.

Head-to-Head Overview

Complete Match History

Surface Analysis

The most striking feature of this head-to-head is how cleanly it splits by surface. Rublev’s victory came on hard courts in Hong Kong — a surface that suits his flat, heavy-hitting baseline game. Fils’ win came on clay at Monte-Carlo, and it was not close: 6-2, 6-3 in a match that showed how comfortably the Frenchman can absorb Rublev’s pace and redirect it with interest.

Rublev is a proven clay court performer with multiple titles and deep runs at Roland Garros. But Fils at 21 is fast becoming one of the most dangerous clay court players in the NextGen cohort. His movement, his ability to construct points with heavy topspin from the baseline, and his first-strike return game are all tailored for the surface. If anything, the clay record suggests Fils is the better bet on dirt — at least at this stage of their rivalry.

On hard courts, Rublev’s explosive forehand and flat backhand are harder to deal with. The Hong Kong win is limited evidence — it was an early-round match rather than a high-stakes encounter — but it aligns with the idea that faster surfaces should suit the Russian better.
