Arthur Fils
Jan-Lennard StruffArthur Fils and Jan-Lennard Struff meet at ING Arena in Brussels for a place in the ATP final on 24 October.

Fils: mixed results before Brussels
Recent form and competitive strengths
Fils has won three of his last five matches. He beat Frances Tiafoe and Pavel Kotov in straight sets, but lost to Valentin Vacherot in three and Botic Van de Zandschulp in two. His latest result, against Alex Michelsen on 23 October, was another straight-sets victory. All three wins in this sequence came without conceding a set; the weakness is the absence of consecutive victories across those five appearances.
Recovery, ranking and motivation
There were 11 days between Fils's last Shanghai match and his Brussels appearance. That is a lighter recorded tournament workload than his opponent's, though match durations are unavailable. Fils has acknowledged that the race to the ATP Finals in Turin occupies his thoughts, while stressing a match-by-match focus.

Struff: a cleaner recent sequence
Results and pressure points
Struff has four wins from his last five matches. His only defeat in that stretch came against Daniil Medvedev in three sets, after a straight-sets win over Martin Landaluce. In Brussels, he has beaten Marcos Giron, Gauthier Onclin and Zizou Bergs without dropping a set. That sequence shows consistent score control across three opponents, although set scores alone do not reveal how often his service games came under pressure.
Workload and court adaptation
Struff played on 20, 21 and 23 October. Avoiding deciding sets has limited his set workload. He has played more Brussels tournament matches than Fils in the supplied schedule.

One previous meeting, limited guidance
Fils won their only listed official meeting in the past five years, beating Struff in straight sets at ATP Paris on 30 October 2024. That puts the head-to-head record in his favour, but one match almost two years earlier is a narrow basis for comparison. Without individual set scores, it also offers no reliable measure of expected game totals or tie-break frequency.

Bet Recommendation
Arthur Fils and Jan-Lennard Struff meet in Brussels for a place in the final. Fils opened with a straight-sets win over Alex Michelsen. He has won three of his last five matches, all without dropping a set, and lost two. Fils won their only previous meeting 2:0 in Paris in 2024, though that result says little about their current form. He also remains in the ATP Finals race.
Struff has won four of his last five matches, including three consecutive straight-sets victories in Brussels over Marcos Giron, Gauthier Onclin and Zizou Bergs. He has won six sets and lost none. He has played three matches at this event compared with Fils’s single appearance.
Our selection is Struff +4.5 games 1.66. The handicap covers a narrow Fils victory as well as a Struff win; either result keeps the selection within the required margin.
Conclusion
Struff +4.5 games 1.66 is the preferred play: his serving form supports a close contest and a finish within four games of Fils.

Game-total market leans narrowly upward
The available market concerns Over/Under 21.5 games, rather than the match winner. Its margin-free assessment gives Over a 52.7% probability and Under 47.3%. Over has shortened during the past 24 hours, indicating increased support, but the split remains close. No winner market is supplied, so neither player can be identified as the bookmaker's favourite.
The key distinction is between sets and games: a straight-sets match can exceed this threshold if both sets are close. Conversely, repeated straight-sets victories do not establish a low-total pattern without game scores. The missing hold rates, return figures and tie-break records prevent a stronger explanation of the line's movement.
