Arthur Fils sealed ⁠his first qualification for the season-ending ATP Finals ‌on Wednesday, thanks to compatriot ‌Quentin Halys' 6-3, ‌1-6, 7-6(9) victory over American ‌Frances Tiafoe in the Paris ‌Masters second round.

Fils, 22, will be the ‌10th Frenchman to play ⁠in ‌the tournament, and the first ​since Gael Monfils in 2016.

The world number ​seven joined Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton, Daniil ⁠Medvedev ​and Flavio Cobolli in the eight-man field.

Jannik Sinner has also qualified ‌but will not compete due to injury, leaving two places still available.

Fils won two trophies this year - his first ATP Masters 1000 crown at the Cincinnati Open ‌and the Barcelona Open - ​but missed the Australian ‌Open and French Open due to injuries.

The ATP Finals will be held in Turin from ⁠November ⁠15th to 22nd.
