The 20-year-old Frenchman handed his compatriot his first defeat in seven finals.

“I’m going to come on the court as an underdog,” Fils says. “We like this position.”

The home favorite dispatched Ugo Humbert, 6-3, 6-3, to clinch Spain's place in the Final 8 of the men's team competition Friday.

The defending champion extended his Grand Slam winning streak to 11 in a row despite dropping a set to the big-serving Frenchman beneath the Centre Court roof.

Among them: qualifier Lloyd Harris, who saved a match point to deny Alex Michelsen Monday in London.

The American has not dropped a set en route to Sunday's championship match.

The game’s greatest showman goes on.

Meanwhile, Casper Ruud is at his highest ranking since last summer, and Ben Shelton is the new American men's No. 1.

Humbert has skyrocketed in the rankings and is playing some great tennis in 2024, but Sonego is at his best on clay and has beaten the Frenchman twice on this surface.

"We build something positive all together," the Frenchman says of his treasured team.
