Daniil Medvedev vs. Alexandre Muller Head to Head Record, Preview and Prediction for Monte Carlo Masters Round of 32

Former World No. 1 is yet to reach a final in 2025.

Daniil Medvedev hits a shot in his win over Tommy Paul during Round 4 of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., March 11, 2025.

After a narrow victory against Karen Khachanov, ninth seed Daniil Medvedev returns to Court Rainier III on Wednesday at the 2025 Monte Carlo Masters. He will take on Frenchman Alexandre Muller, who came through 6-4 6-4 against Camilo Ugo Carabelli in the Round of 64. The winner of this match faces either Alex De Minaur or Tomas Machac in the Round of 16.

Former World No. 1 Daniil Mededev has seen a steep decline in rankings, owing to a rough 2025 season so far. A six-time Grand Slam finalist, it all went downhill when the 29-year-old lost a thrilling Round-2 to Learner Tien at the 2025 Australian Open. He has made a couple of semifinals, but hasn’t been able to cross the hurdle into the summit clash.

The clay court season started early for Alexandre Muller, as he reached the quarterfinal at the Grand Prix Hassan II last week. Despite losing to Kamil Majchrzak in a close battle, he displayed a great level of tennis. Muller’s best result of the season was in Hong Kong – beating Kei Nishikori to start his year with a title. The World No. 39 also performed exceedingly well in Rio, where he lost in the final vs Sebastian Baez.

Daniil Medvedev vs Alexandre Muller Head to Head Record

Daniil Medvedev has won the only previous match-up against Alexandre Muller, and currently leads the head to head 1-0.

Medvedev beat Muller in the Wimbledon 2024 Second Round, in four sets. However, the Monte Carlo meeting will be on a completely different surface and altered conditions. The Russian may find it harder to get over the line – against Khachanov, he took a convincing 5-1 lead before capitulating. In the end, it was his experience that took him through.
