Arthur Fils has been in excellent form throughout the season and arrives with even more confidence after his title run in Barcelona. He has also remained unbeaten against non-Top 30 players this year, which puts him in a strong position for this matchup.

  • Arthur Fils is 0–2 in opening-round matches in Madrid. 
  • He is a perfect 9–0 vs outside Top 50 players in 2026. 
  • Ignacio Buse had never won a Masters main-draw match before this week. 
  • He has a 4–4 career record vs Top 50 players.

This wil be their first meeting.

Fils Continues Strong Season Form

Arthur Fils continues to impress this season and arrives after a title-winning run in Barcelona. He defeated Lorenzo Musetti, Rafael Jodar, and Andrey Rublev in the later rounds to lift the trophy. 

Last year, he also showed strong form in the first half of the season, but an injury during the French Open disrupted his progress and forced him to end the year early. 

He has bounced back strongly in 2026, reaching at least the quarterfinals in five of his six tournaments, including a final and semifinal run in Miami, bringing him close to a top-20 return. 

Fils has played Madrid twice before but lost in the opening round both times. With his current momentum, he will aim for a breakthrough result this week.

Buse Breaks Through At Masters

Ignacio Buse advanced to the second round in Madrid with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Adrian Mannarino. He fired seven aces and saved the only break point he faced. 

This is his first main-draw win at Masters level. His only previous match in a Masters main draw came in Miami, where he lost to Damir Dzumhur in three sets.

It is a much-needed result for the 22-year-old, who started the season well with a semifinal in Rio and a second round in Buenos Aires, but then managed only one main-draw win across his next six events.
