Muller defeated Tomas Etcheverry (7-5, 7-6) in the second round of the tournament in Rio de Janeiro. In the confrontation with the Argentine, Aleksandar made five aces, made three break points and lost two games on his serve. In the first round, the Frenchman dealt with Joao Fonseca.
Professional qualities
Muller prefers to act defensively, skillfully controlling the course of the match due to deep shots under the back line. The arsenal of blows of the French tennis player is very diverse. He skillfully uses not only powerful punches from the back line, but also shortened and cut punches, which are inconvenient for most opponents. Alexandar has been making significant progress in his game lately. He not only improved his game on clay, where he was traditionally strong, but also achieved some success on hard courts. This suggests that the Frenchman is gradually becoming a more versatile player.
