Alexandre Müller faced the challenging task of going up against the local idol at the ATP Rio Open. The Frenchman found himself across the net from 18-year-old Brazilian, Joao Fonseca, who had recently clinched the title in Buenos Aires and was the shining star of the past few days. However, Müller managed to push through and also capitalized on the pressure weighing on his opponent. After a significant victory, the Frenchman spoke highly of Fonseca: "I'm sorry for the tournament and the fans. Fonseca is a superstar here, but I wanted to win. Joao will win for many, many years. One day I will tell my children that I defeated Joao Fonseca on the center court of Rio de Janeiro. He will be a legend in sports."
