Arthur Fils Stuns World No. 2 Zverev to Reach Miami Masters Quarterfinals

The 20-year-old Frenchman becomes the first from his country to advance this far in Miami since 2016, setting up a clash with Jakub Mensik.

Arthur Fils defeated Alexander Zverev, the world number 2, in a three-set match (3-6, 6-3, 6-4) at the Miami Masters 1000 round of 16.
This victory makes Fils the first French player to reach the tournament's quarterfinals since 2016, highlighting a resurgence in French tennis.
Fils has now achieved consecutive quarterfinal appearances at Masters 1000 tournaments, following his performance at Indian Wells earlier in March.
This marks Fils' second career win against Zverev in five matches, with Zverev being the highest-ranked player in the tournament due to Jannik Sinner's suspension.
At just 20 years old, Fils joins an elite group of 24 French players to have defeated a world number 2, further solidifying his rising status on the ATP Tour.
