Beibit Zhukayev vs Alexandre Muller prediction
Alexandre Muller’s push for the top 30 needs a kick-start in Washington.
The Frenchman followed up a disappointing first round loss at Roland Garros with a shocker of a grass swing, leaving him winless in five matches.
The world number 39 will hope to change that in his first match back on hard courts as he meets Beibit Zhukaye for the first time.
The Kazakh battled through qualifying but has made limited impression on the main tour.
The world number 218 is past the hump of an eight-match losing streak between clay and grass, but given how Muller’s solid 2025 has gone, it’s hard to see the underdog having the consistently high level to deny the Frenchman a return to winning ways.
