Daniel Merida Aguilar vs Alex Michelsen prediction
Alex Michelsen will look to build his way back into the top 40, beginning with a solid run at Indian Wells.
The American has been in patchy form since a push to the semi finals in Brisbane but will be a heavy favourite against Daniel Merida Aguilar.
The 21-year-old Spaniard has an excellent record at the lower tier over the past 12 months, but will be playing in only his second main draw clash after battling through qualifying.
Michelsen has the pedigree and quality to post a strong win here and take advantage of the world number 139’s limited experience.
Daniel Merida Aguilar vs Alex Michelsen tip: Alex Michelsen to win 2-0
