Alex Michelsen vs Daniel Merida prediction

Daniel Merida gave another cameo of his burgeoning talent and threat as one to watch with an impressive upset of Andrey Rublev.

The 21-year-old Spaniard posted a 6-7 6-2 6-4 6-4 success over the Russian 23rd seed to tee up a showdown with home hope Alex Michelsen.

The American has been flawless so far, dropping just five games in defeating rising star Federico Cina and then seeing off in-form 16th seed Brandon Nakashima 6-3 6-4 6-4 last time out.

This will be their third meeting with honours even after Merida responded to defeat at Indian Wells earlier this year with a three-set triumph at the Canadian Masters recently.

This is a tough call with just seven places between two men playing some exhilarating tennis right now. The better call may to be asssume a high number of games or it going beyond three sets.
