Hong Kong Muller

Alexandre Müller claimed the first ATP Tour title of his career in Hong Kong on Sunday after beating Kei Nishikori in the final.

The Frenchman, who will jump to 56th in the world (his career-high ranking) tomorrow, won in three sets against every opponent he faced, losing the first set each time.

A feat previously achieved by only three other players in the Open era: Arthur Ashe (Dallas 1971), Ilie Nastase (Challenge Cup 1977) and Alexander Bublik (Montpellier 2024).

And within this list, Alexandre Müller is the only player to have achieved this feat by playing five matches.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
