109th in the world before the Masters 1000 in Rome, Alexandre Muller went through the qualifications to face Marton Fucsovics, 50th in the world, this Thursday evening in the first round. Led after the first set won by the Hungarian, Muller was able to turn the match around.
He offers himself a derby in the second round, with a match against Arthur Fils, exempt from the first round. The young Frenchman (19 years old) will therefore have to battle against his elder (27 years old) to do well in the two weeks before Roland-Garros.
