Tennis: Alexandre Müller, titled despite Crohn’s disease
A statistic demonstrates the strength of character of Alexandre Müller. In Hong Kong, he lost the first set of all his matches, before turning the situation around. “It was the tactic, we don’t change who wins,” he joked in “L’Équipe”. According to the specialized account Jeu, Set et Maths, he is only the 2nd player since 1990 to win a trophy after losing the first round of each of his matches. Only the Kazakh Alexander Bublik had done so, in 2024 in Montpellier.
