Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match, it will be the first meeting between Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece and Alexandre Muller from France. Tsitsipas, who is currently 26 years old, holds the 12th position in the world rankings and achieved his career-best ranking of number 3 in August 2021. He has an impressive record of 11 wins against top-3 opponents, including 2 wins against the number 1 player, 4 wins against the number 2 player, and 5 wins against the number 3 player. Tsitsipas has reached the semifinals of Grand Slam tournaments on six occasions, with notable runs at the 2021 Roland Garros and the 2023 Australian Open, where he finished as the runner-up both times, losing to Djokovic in both finals. He won the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals title at the age of 20 and the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals title at the age of 21, becoming the youngest champion of the latter event since Hewitt in 2001. Throughout his career, Tsitsipas has won a total of 11 ATP Tour titles, including three ATP Masters 1000 titles in Monte Carlo in 2021, 2022, and 2024. However, he is still seeking his first ATP 500 title, having lost all 11 finals he has reached in this category. One of his remarkable achievements is being the youngest player, among a group of 30 players, to defeat Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal before the age of 21. In his most recent match, Tsitsipas defeated Nishikori in the second round, securing his 200th hard court win of his career, with a record of 200 wins and 108 losses. He aims to advance to the Round of 16 in the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Shanghai, which would be his fourth such achievement this season, following his performances in Indian Wells (reaching the fourth round), Monte Carlo (winning the title), and Rome (reaching the quarterfinals). This will be Tsitsipas’ fifth appearance in Shanghai, with a notable victory over a world number 1 player, Djokovic, in the 2019 quarterfinals. Among the players born in 1995 or later, Tsitsipas currently holds the fourth position in terms of hard court wins on the ATP Tour, with a record of 200 wins and 108 losses. Moving on to Alexandre Muller, the 27-year-old French player holds the 74th position in the world rankings, with a career-high ranking of number 70. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 16 wins and 17 losses, with his best performance being a quarterfinal finish in Auckland. In the Shanghai tournament, he has won two matches and lost one in the third round. Muller’s breakthrough came in 2016 when he entered the Top 500, followed by reaching the Top 250 in 2019 and the Top 100 in April 2023 after reaching his first final in Marrakech. He achieved his career-best ranking of number 71 in January 2024. Notable milestones in his career include reaching his first ATP Tour quarterfinal in Doha in 2023 and advancing to the semifinals and final in Marrakech the same year after defeating clay-court champions Gasquet and Musetti. In 2024, Muller achieved the biggest win of his career by defeating the number 6 ranked player, Rublev, to reach the fourth round of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Rome. Muller’s journey on the ATP Tour began in 2017 when he made his tour-level debut as a Wild Card entry in the Roland Garros tournament, but he lost in the first round to Monteiro. His first tour-level victory came in the 2021 Australian Open as a Lucky Loser, where he defeated Londero in the first round. In terms of his performance in challenger tournaments, Muller has a record of 138 wins and 121 losses, with three final appearances and one title in Blois in 2022, where he saved a match point in his first round match. Muller’s interest in tennis started at a young age, playing with his father on a tennis court at their home when he was only 6 years old. He mentions that, initially, he had better skills in football compared to tennis but ultimately chose tennis as his sport. Muller’s record against top 20 players is not particularly impressive, with only one win and ten losses in his career. However, he aims to reach the fourth round of an ATP Masters 1000 tournament for the second time, following his victory over Rublev in the third round of the Rome tournament earlier this year. He recently rose in the rankings to the 69th position on the PIF ATP Live Rankings and has the opportunity to further improve to the 65th position with a win in the third round of the Shanghai tournament.
