Comesana and Muller are on the Day 6 Schedule at Rio Open Presented By Claro 2025 on Saturday 22 February 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Francisco Comesana, a 24-year-old Argentine tennis player ranked World No. 86, will be meeting Alexandre Muller, a 28-year-old French player ranked World No. 60, for the first time. Comesana broke into the Top 200 in June 2023, the Top 100 in April 2024, and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 84 in November 2024.

In his Grand Slam main draw debut at the 2024 Wimbledon, Comesana had a significant victory by defeating No. 6 Andrey Rublev in the first round, becoming the youngest Argentine in Wimbledon’s third round since Juan Martin del Potro in 2011. He also reached the third round of the 2024 US Open, making him the third Argentine man in the Open Era to advance to the third round in his first two Grand Slam main draw appearances, following in the footsteps of Martin Jaite in 1984-85 and Marcos Górriz in 1991.

Comesana made his ATP Tour debut at the 2024 Cordoba as a wild card, where he earned his first four tour-level wins and went on to reach the third round at Wimbledon and the US Open later that year. He had an impressive 45-21 record in Challenger tournaments in 2023, earning the most Challenger wins that season and winning titles in Vicenza and Liberec, as well as reaching the finals in Skopje and Santa Cruz.

It’s worth noting that Comesana had a remarkable comeback from being 1-4 down in the deciding set of his first ATP Tour quarterfinal, resulting in the biggest win of his career over No. 2 Alexander Zverev. He is currently ranked No. 67 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings and has the potential to reach No. 59 if he wins the semi-finals.

In terms of time spent on court, Comesana has the longest record in the ATP 500 SF in series history. In the 2025 Rio de Janeiro tournament, he spent 9 hours and 6 minutes on court while playing three matches, which is a new record. The previous record was held by Pablo Carreno Busta at the 2020 Rotterdam, where he spent 8 hours on court before losing to Felix Auger-Aliassime in the semi-finals.

Moving on to Alexandre Muller, a 28-year-old French player ranked World No. 60, he broke into the Top 500 in 2016, the Top 250 in 2019, and reached the Top 100 in April 2023. His career-high ranking is No. 56, which he achieved in January 2025 after defeating former No. 4 Kei Nishikori to win his first ATP Tour title in Hong Kong.

Muller saved two match points against Miomir Kecmanovic in the second round of the same tournament and became the third man in the Open Era to win a tour-level title by rallying from a set down in all matches played. The other two players to achieve this feat were Arthur Ashe at the 1975 WCT Finals and Alexander Bublik at the 2024 Montpellier.

During his career, Muller defeated clay-court champions Richard Gasquet and Lorenzo Musetti to reach his first semi-final and final at the 2023 Marrakech, and he had his biggest career win by defeating No. 6 Andrey Rublev to reach the fourth round of the 2024 ATP Masters 1000 Rome.

Muller made his tour-level debut at the 2017 Roland Garros as a wild card, where he lost to Thiago Monteiro. He won his first tour-level match at the 2021 Australian Open as a lucky loser, beating Juan Ignacio Londero in the first round.

In terms of his Challenger record, Muller has a 138-122 record, including three finals. He won his first Challenger title at the 2022 Blois, where he saved a match point in his first-round match.

Muller had a tennis court at his childhood home and started playing with his dad when he was six years old. He initially excelled in football before choosing tennis.

It’s worth noting that Muller defeated Francisco Cerundolo in the quarterfinals, marking his first quarterfinal above the ATP 250 level and making him the first French semi-finalist in the history of the tournament. He is aiming for his third ATP Tour final in as many semi-finals, following his appearances in Marrakech in 2023 (where he lost to Roberto Carballes Baena) and Hong Kong in 2025 (where he defeated Kei Nishikori). He has a strong record of 14-1 in his last 15 matches against Argentine players, with a perfect 10-0 record on clay.

In terms of active French ATP 500 finalists since 2009, players like Gael Monfils, Ugo Humbert, Arthur Fils, Lucas Pouille, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, Adrian Mannarino, and Benoit Paire have all reached the finals, with Monfils being the player with the most appearances and victories.

This information provides the background and statistics of both players, setting the stage for their potential singles final match.
