Arthur Fils and Luca van Assche: Arthur Fils leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Arthur Fils, the 2024 champion, beat fellow Frenchman Luca van Assche in the Japan Open round of 32 without dropping serve. He hit 12 aces and saved all three break points he faced. Van Assche saved seven of the 10 break points against him, but Fils still broke three times in eight return games. The two 22-year-olds had no prior meetings on record, and both have climbed sharply this season. Van Assche began the year at ATP No. 164 and entered the week at No. 43, though he had won one of five hard-court matches in 2026. Fils has risen from No. 41 to No. 9. He won the Cincinnati title in August, then lost his US Open opener to Stefanos Tsitsipas.
