The win puts the 33-year-old Luxembourg native into his third ATP World Tour quarter-final of the season. “You want to win no matter what court it is, so it’s been frustrating to not win many matches on clay the past few years,” said Muller. “But I did things differently this year and went to Monaco 10 days before my tournaments.
