Alex Michelsen vs Federico Cina prediction

Alex Michelsen should have too much for Federico Cina in New York.

The American will be eager to impress on home turf and has been picking up some decent wins across the North American swing.

In contrast, Federico Cina is happier on clay and lacks results and experience on hardcourts at the highest level.

There is a gulf in the rankings and while the 19-year-old Italian is a player to watch out for, this particular match-up may not work in his favour at this stage.
