Fils leads their head-to-head 1-0. The pair has performed differently against shared opponents, with Fils defeating Jakub Mensik, Mariano Navone, Tommy Paul, and Quentin Halys, while van de Zandschulp's only win among those four came against Stefanos Tsitsipas. Both players have seen heavy court time in Shanghai; Fils has contested 6 matches in the past 14 days, van de Zandschulp 5.
Fils built his ranking on an aggressive serving game that translates well on hard courts, where he holds a 75% record. Van de Zandschulp operates as a power striker who relies on heavy groundstrokes and pace. The surface suits both men's games, but van de Zandschulp must establish rhythm early and dictate from the baseline, while Fils aims to use his serve to shorten points and limit the length of exchanges.
