Alexandre Muller from France and Jaume Munar from Spain will be facing each other for the first time on the tour level. However, they have played against each other in several lower-level tournaments. In the 2020 Lisbon CH in Portugal, Munar defeated Muller with a score of 6-2, 6-2 in the quarterfinals.

Their most recent encounter was in the 2024 Aix-en-Provence CH in France, where Munar won with a score of 7-5, 4-6, 6-2 in the round of 16.

Alexandre Muller, aged 27, currently holds the world No. 67 ranking, which is his career-high. He achieved this ranking in December 2024. Muller’s career has seen steady progress, with breakthroughs in the rankings at different stages. He entered the top 500 in 2016, the top 250 in 2019, and finally reached the top 100 in 2023 after his first ATP Tour final in Marrakech. Notably, he reached his first ATP Tour quarterfinal in 2023 at Doha, where he defeated clay-court champions Richard Gasquet and Lorenzo Musetti on his way to his first semifinal and final, which he achieved at the 2023 Marrakech tournament. In 2024, Muller secured his biggest win, defeating world No. 6 Andrey Rublev and reaching the fourth round of the ATP Masters 1000 event in Rome. He made his tour-level debut at the 2017 Roland Garros as a wildcard but lost to Thiago Monteiro. However, he won his first tour-level match at the 2021 Australian Open as a lucky loser, defeating Juan Ignacio Londero in the first round. In Challenger events, Muller has a record of 138 wins and 121 losses, with a 3-3 record in finals. He claimed his first Challenger title in 2022 at Blois, and he has shown resilience in matches, saving match points to secure victories.

Muller’s affinity for tennis started at a young age, as he had a tennis court at his childhood home. He began playing with his father at the age of 6. Interestingly, Muller admits that he was initially better at football than tennis but eventually chose tennis as his primary sport.

In the current tournament, Muller has saved two match points to defeat Miomir Kecmanovic in the second round. This win has propelled him to his second ATP Tour semifinal, with his previous semifinal appearance occurring at the 2023 Marrakech tournament, where he lost to Roberto Carballes Baena. The victory has also improved his ranking, moving him up six spots to No. 61 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings. If Muller wins the semifinal, he will further rise to the No. 59 spot.

Jaume Munar is also aged 27 and currently holds the world No. 62 ranking. His career-high ranking was No. 52, which he achieved in May 2019. Munar had an impressive junior career, reaching as high as No. 3 in the junior rankings. In 2018, he advanced to the semifinals of the Next Gen ATP Finals. In 2022, he finished the year at No. 58, his highest year-end ranking, with a personal-best of 19 wins and qualifications for four ATP Masters 1000 events.

In the 2021 Marbella tournament, Munar reached his first ATP Tour final, where he lost to his fellow countryman Pablo Carreno Busta in the final. Throughout his career, he has recorded two victories against top-10 players. In the 2019 Marrakech tournament, he defeated Alexander Zverev in the second round when Zverev was ranked No. 3. Similarly, in the 2022 Tokyo tournament, he defeated Casper Ruud, also ranked No. 3 at the time, in the first round.

In Challenger events, Munar has a record of 141 wins and 71 losses, with a 10-8 record in finals. He won his most recent Challenger title on clay at the 2024 Bad Waltersdorf tournament. Munar’s junior achievements include reaching the boys’ singles final at the 2014 Roland Garros and winning the boys’ doubles title in 2015 with his compatriot Lopez San Martin.

In the current tournament, Munar has displayed resilience, as he had a winless streak in deciding sets and matches where he lost the first set on the tour level in 2024. However, in the current tournament, he has rallied back from a set down to defeat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the first round and No. 2 seed Lorenzo Musetti in the quarterfinals. Munar is aiming to reach his second ATP Tour final after the 2021 Marbella tournament where he lost to Carreno Busta. If he achieves this, he will join Juan Carlos Ferrero and Carlos Moya as the only Spanish finalists in the history of the event.
