Jannik Sinner vs Alexandre Muller will take place in the first round of the 2023 French Open on May 28.
Jannik Sinner’s impressive and consistent Masters performances this year raised expectations for his success at the Rome Masters earlier this year. However, much to the surprise of many, he disappointed the home fans by losing in the round of 16. This was the first time in 2023 that he did not advance to the semifinals of a Masters event. The current world number eight, who came agonisingly close to reaching the US Open semifinals last year, has consistently delivered strong performances at the French Open. He reached the quarterfinals in his debut campaign in 2020, and he advanced to the round of 16 in the following editions in 2021 and 2022.
Alexandre Muller has been in his best shape of his career in the final five months of the 2023 season. It will be interesting to see if he can use his newfound confidence and momentum to make a big impression at his home slam, the French Open. He was eliminated in the first round of both of his previous main-draw appearances at this tournament, in 2017 and 2019. Prior to 2023, the Frenchman had only won one main-draw match in a tour-level event in his career. However, this year has been a watershed moment for him, as he has already amassed an impressive total of seven such victories, propelling him into the top-100 for the first time.
