ATPTour.com breaks down five things to know about Moller.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4trQo27\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/atp-fantasy-article-banner.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cATP Fantasy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Madrid comes full circle<br \/><\/strong>The ATP Masters 1000 event in Madrid holds special meaning for Moller. It was here that he qualified for his ATP Tour debut last year. Although he lost his opening match to then-18-year-old Brazilian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/players\/joao-fonseca\/f0fv\/overview\">Joao Fonseca<\/a>, the Dane has since grown more comfortable in the high-altitude conditions of the Spanish capital. After returning for the 2026 tournament, he has already collected four wins, including two in qualifying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backhand brilliance<br \/><\/strong>Moller faces a tough challenge against Sinner, one of the cleanest ball-strikers on Tour, but he brings a major weapon of his own: his two-handed backhand. Smooth and explosive, it has underpinned his rise in recent years. In his first-round win over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/players\/federico-cina\/c0nb\/overview\">Federico Cina<\/a> in Madrid, Moller fired 29 winners, 14 of them off that wing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ATP Challenger success<br \/><\/strong>Moller has enjoyed a string of strong results at ATP Challenger level, claiming four titles so far \u2014 and three of them in an impressive 2025 season. All four titles came on clay and in Oeiras last year, he defeated three Top 100 players (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/players\/thiago-monteiro\/mj08\/overview\">Thiago Monteiro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/players\/roman-safiullin\/sx50\/overview\">Roman Safiullin<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/players\/francisco-comesana\/c0df\/overview\">Francisco Comesana<\/a>) while dropping just one set en route to the trophy.<br \/>\n&lt;!&#8211;<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/apps?utm_source=atp&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=app_banner\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/news\/-\/media\/\n6D24D69A3A244D879C1490781E037C35.ashx\" alt=\"ATP WTA LIVE | Follow Live Scores From Montreal\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;!&#8211;<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/apps?utm_source=atp&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=app_banner\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/news\/-\/media\/\n66D7ED9845A44A8295984FBC2C024B20.ashx\" alt=\"ATP WTA LIVE | Follow the Pepperstone ATP Race To Turin In Real Time\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&gt;<br \/>\n&lt;!&#8211;<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/apps?utm_source=atp&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=app_banner\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/news\/-\/media\/\n9333ed00493246e6a2ad692fa18710b7.ashx\" alt=\"The Official App Of Tennis | Download ATP WTA Live App\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/apps?utm_source=atp&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=app_banner\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/en\/news\/-\/media\/&#010;a888346995e24e4da5e94a23e5765cf1.ashx\" alt=\"The Official App Of Tennis | Download ATP WTA Live App\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chasing the Top 100<br \/><\/strong>Thanks to his Challenger success in 2025, Moller climbed to a career-high No. 102 in the PIF ATP Rankings in July.
