From an X-rated sponsorship to copying Cole Palmer, the Frenchman has made quite the impression in Brazil this week.

The Frenchman beat Francisco Comesana last night to reach the finalCredit: APWhen Muller, 28, was drawn against rising home favourite Joao Fonseca in round one, many would have anticipated a quick exit.
But he produced a brilliant performance to defeat the 18-year-old, who won his first title last week, in straight sets.
Muller has since gone from strength to strength, beating Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Francisco Cerundolo and Francisco Comesana to reach tonight’s final.
After defeating Etcheverry, Muller wore an OnlyFans-branded baseball cap into the mixed zone.
Posting a picture of the victorious world No.60, reporter Jose Morgado wrote on X: “Midnight in Rio and Alexandre Muller arrives the mixed zone with his OnlyFans cap — he is sponsored by this adult-content website. Looks appropriate.”
Morgado’s post received plenty of traction.
One fan responded: “How is that even a sponsor?”
While a second gushed: “Some of his tennis should be put behind an only fans pay wall tbf. It was fantastic.”

Muller joined OnlyFans in January 2024, and labels himself the “Sexiest professional tennis player” in his bio.
Following his matches in Rio this week, he has been copying Cole Palmer’s “cold” celebration.
Having dumped out three Argentine players in a row, football fan Muller joked about avenging the 2022 World Cup final.
He said: “I was really sad about the defeat at the World Cup. So I’m trying to make up for it!”
Muller will take on another Argentine, Sebastian Baez, in tonight’s Rio final.
The OnlyFans athlete is already guaranteed to reach a new career-high ranking following his exploits this week, and could even climb up to No.32 with a victory this evening.
OnlyFans allows me to pay my coachesAlexandre Muller
During last year’s U.S. Open, Muller revealed how signing up to OnlyFans has helped him reach new heights in his tennis career.
“OnlyFans allows me to pay my coaches,” he admitted. “To have my physical trainer a little more often in tournaments.”
Last year, Muller even wore the OnlyFans logo on his Joma-branded kit while playing.
During the Rome Masters 1000, however, he revealed that he’d been banned from doing so.
While wearing an OnlyFans-branded bucket hat, he said at the time: “I was told I couldn’t have the OnlyFans logo on my shirt anymore, so I needed something to help me advertise my new sponsor.”
He’ll have certainly earned plenty of new supporters with his exploits in Rio this week.
