Alex Michelsen vs Francisco Cerundolo prediction
Francisco Cerundolo and Alex Michelsen will lock horns for the third time when they face-off in Montreal.
The head-to-head is finely-poised at 1-1 with this being their maiden encounter on an outdoor hardcourt, although the Argentine did race to a 6-3 6-1 win indoors last year.
World number 42 Michelsen has just come off a Challenger title and a strong run in Washington while 16th seed Cerundolo hasn’t quite kicked on since his title at Queen’s.
This may come down to just how well the South American’s forehand is firing. The surroundings and recent form on hard favour Alex, but if Fran delivers off his big weapon, he will have the final say.
