Alexandre Muller Player Overview
Alexander Müller has won four of his last ten matches and has been equally inconsistent. His most recent win came against Žiga Šeško here in Mallorca; before that he lost to Rei Sakamoto, then beat László Djere in US Open qualifying.

He has also been bagelled four times in his last ten matches, which is another indication that his matches can be unpredictable in terms of duration.
