Getting your player ready...
To many, being the top tennis player in their country’s history would be quite a thrill. To Gilles Muller, there’s a qualifier. “I mean, that’s not my goal, to be the best in Luxembourg,” he said. Muller became the first man or woman from his nation to reach the fourth round at a Grand Slam, rallying past No. 18 Nicolas Almagro 6-7 (3), 3-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (6), 7-5 on Sunday at the U.S. Open. Then again, Muller is the only man from his country to play in a major event. “I’m the first one actually to do everything,” he said. Next up for Muller is No. 5 Nikolay Davydenko in the round of 16.
