Muller, aged 27, is currently ranked as the world number 67, which is his career-high ranking. Throughout his career, he has achieved a win-loss record of 29-39, with one final appearance. In the 2025 Hong Kong tournament, he had a successful run, winning all of his matches and reaching the quarterfinals. Muller has experienced steady progress in his career, breaking into the Top 500 in 2016, the Top 250 in 2019, and then reaching the Top 100 in 2023 after his first ATP Tour final in Marrakech. In December 2024, he achieved his career-high ranking of 67. Some notable highlights of his career include reaching his first ATP Tour quarterfinals in 2023 Doha, defeating clay-court champions Richard Gasquet and Lorenzo Musetti along the way. He also had a significant victory over world number six, Andrey Rublev, to reach the fourth round of the 2024 Rome ATP Masters 1000.

Muller made his tour-level debut in the 2017 Roland Garros as a wildcard entry but lost to Thiago Monteiro. However, he secured his first tour-level win in the 2021 Australian Open as a lucky loser, defeating Juan Ignacio Londero in the first round. In the Challenger circuit, Muller has a record of 138-121, including three finals appearances. He claimed his first Challenger title in 2022 Blois, where he saved a match point in his first-round match. Tennis has been a part of Muller’s life since his childhood, as he had a tennis court at his home and began playing with his father when he was six. Despite being initially better at football, Muller ultimately chose tennis as his sport.

It is worth noting that Muller recently saved two match points to defeat Miomir Kecmanovic in the second round of the Rome ATP Masters 1000 tournament. He now aims to reach his second ATP Tour semifinal, building on his previous run to the final in Marrakech in 2023, where he lost to Roberto Carballes Baena. Throughout his career, Muller has struggled against top-ranked players, with a record of 1-12 against the top 20. However, his lone victory came against world number four, Andrey Rublev, in the third round of the ATP Masters 1000 Rome tournament in May.

He has achieved a win-loss record of 62-47 and has won three titles in his career. Fils has experienced significant progress in his ranking, reaching a new career-high thirteen times in 2023. He broke into the Top 200 in January, the Top 100 in May, and the Top 50 in July, ultimately peaking at number 20 in July 2024. Some notable highlights of his career include defeating Alexander Zverev, world number four, to win the 2024 Hamburg title. He also won the 2024 Tokyo tournament, where he saved a championship point in the all-French final against Ugo Humbert.

Fils also made history as the youngest Frenchman in 18 years and 11 months to win an ATP Tour title since Gael Monfils achieved the feat in 2005. He won the 2023 Lyon title as a wildcard entry ranked 112th, defeating Francisco Cerundolo. In February 2023, Fils reached the semifinals of an ATP Tour event for the first time in his career, doing so at both the Montpellier and Marseille tournaments. In his professional career, Fils made a remarkable debut in Grand Slam qualifying at the 2021 Roland Garros as a 16-year-old, defeating former top-20 player Bernard Tomic. He also reached the boys’ singles final and won the boys’ doubles title alongside Mpetshi Perricard, achieving a career-high junior ranking of number three during the 2021 season.

In the current tournament, Fils is aiming to reach his tenth ATP Tour semifinal, with a record of 4-5 in previous quarterfinal matches. He has played in two quarterfinals on Asian soil, namely in Hong Kong last year where he lost to Andrey Rublev, and in Tokyo where he emerged as the champion after defeating Ugo Humbert. This represents Fils’ third quarterfinal appearance on Asian soil.

In summary, Alexandre Muller leads the head-to-head record against Arthur Fils with a score of 1-0. Muller has steadily climbed the rankings throughout his career, achieving a career-high rank of 67.
