Arthur Fils produced a moment of magic at the ATP 250 event in Brussels, where he claimed October’s Hot Shot of the Month presented by Yokohama award after delighting fans with a spectacular tweener winner.
Facing Jan-Lennard Struff in their semi-final encounter, Fils found himself pushed deep behind the baseline by a lob. Racing back to retrieve the ball, the 22-year-old Frenchman unleashed a perfectly executed tweener that flew past Struff as he was left stranded at the net.
The stunning shot secured Fils the fan-voted monthly award and could well prove to be one of the standout moments of the 2026 ATP Tour season.
Fils claimed the honour ahead of fellow nominees Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Zizou Bergs. The No. 7 player in the PIF ATP Rankings will now turn his attention to his debut at the Nitto ATP Finals, where he plays in the John McEnroe Group alongside Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton and Rafael Jodar.
