Alexandre Müller (85th) will be one of the tricolor attractions at the start of the US Open. The 26-year-old Frenchman continues his apprenticeship at the highest level after an excellent 2022 season where he reached the Top 100 for the first time. After Jannick Sinner in the first round at Roland-Garros and Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon, the Provençal inherits a new impossible draw at the US Open as he faces world number 2 Novak Djokivic. Despite a very unbalanced duel on paper, the 26-year-old will have the chance to play a night session on the Arthur Ashe, a unique moment.
At 36 years old and 23 Grand Slam titles to his name, the Serb will be on a quest to regain his throne at the top of the ATP rankings. If he beats the tricolor on Monday, he is sure to be world number 1 again. The Serb also appears very relaxed as this 1st round and his 17th US approach. Asked about his French opponent, Nole threw a small tackle in front of the cameras: “Alexandre Müller? He is a handsome boy… Unfortunately, that is not enough. A sentence that made the Provençal laugh before their duel.
