Borg earned his first ranking point in May 2021, broke into the Top 500 in May 2023, and reached his career-high ranking in September 2023 after winning his third ITF World Tennis Tour title at M25 Jakarta. He made his ATP Tour debut as a wildcard at the 2021 Stockholm tournament, where he lost to the eventual champion. His first ATP Tour win came in the first round of the 2023 Bastad tournament, but he lost in the second round to Coria. On the ITF Tour, Borg has a record of 91-57, with 5-3 in finals. He has won titles at various tournaments, including Sharm ElSheikh, Jakarta, Kingston, and Nakhon si Thammarat. In his junior career, he reached No. 12 on the ITF junior rankings and won three titles. Despite growing up playing on hard courts, Borg believes his game is best suited to clay courts. He currently has a 0-4 record against Top 100 players and is looking for a major win in his career. His father, Bjorn Borg, won the title in 1980.
Alexandre Muller, a 27-year-old French player, is ranked at World No. 70, which is his career-high ranking. In 2024, he has a record of 16-18, with his best result being a quarterfinal appearance in Auckland. He is making his debut at the Stockholm tournament. Muller broke into the Top 500 in 2016, the Top 250 in 2019, and the Top 100 in April 2023 after reaching his first final in Marrakech. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 70 in September 2024. He reached his first ATP Tour quarterfinal at the 2023 Doha tournament and then made it to his first semifinal and final at the 2023 Marrakech tournament, defeating clay-court champions Gasquet and Musetti along the way. Muller’s biggest win of his career came against No. 6 Rublev, allowing him to reach the fourth round of the ATP Masters 1000 in Rome. He made his tour-level debut as a wildcard at the 2017 Roland Garros tournament, losing in the first round. His first tour-level win came at the 2021 Australian Open as a lucky loser, where he beat Londero in the first round. In Challenger tournaments, Muller has a record of 138-121, with a title win in Blois in 2022. He had a tennis court at his childhood home and started playing with his dad at the age of 6, although he initially considered himself better at football than tennis.
In his recent tournaments since April, Muller has had a strong record of 9-2 in opening rounds. However, he did suffer a loss to No. 160 Yevseyev in the first round of Bastad. He is one of three Frenchmen competing in the Stockholm tournament, hoping to follow in the footsteps of his countryman Monfils, who won the title last year.
