Claim Welcome Bonus🇫🇷 Alexandre Muller
Alexandre Muller (France) is a successful tour player who managed to enter the Top-50 in 2025 — the best rank of his career is near ATP No.38 (snapshot of August 2025). This season he has made pretty good results on the hard courts (an ATP title at the beginning of the year and some Masters/main-tour victories) but his 2025 form has been somewhat unsteady: most public trackers show his 2025 singles record around ≈20–21 wins / low-20 losses. The style of Muller is based on his compact footwork, brilliant depth and consistency, and a low-error profile - he likes to be at the bottom, prolong rallies and change break opportunities into breaks of serve rather than overpower opponents. In the match with Khachanov his strategy will be straightforward: do not allow the big first serve to have a big effect, hit the ball quickly on the second serves and make the points long so that the Russian’s space for hitting winners decreases. He is a threat when his first-serve percentage and return depth both are perfect.
🇷🇺 Karen Khachanov
Karen Khachanov (Russia) is a heavy-ball baseliner whose power and consistency will make him one of the top hard-court players in 2025. The ATP ranking history shows that he reached top-10 level after an excellent late-summer run (deep at Masters/1000 events) and a strong season record (public trackers show ~29–30 wins to ~20 losses in 2025). Khachanov’s signature shots are a big, heavy serve and a flattening forehand which he uses to finish points quickly - he complements a defensive approach with a powerful first-strike game. His recent results (hot runs at North American hard-court events) indicate to us that he comes here with the right mindset and match fitness. In the match against Muller, he will be looking to keep points short, targeting second serves, and steering clear of long, low-error rallies where Muller is good. Models and book markets are on his side making him the solid favorite here.
