Daniel Merida vs Alex Michelsen prediction
Alex Michelsen is a great hard court player as you would expect from someone representing USA. He took down seeded opposition in the last round, defeating Francisco Cerundolo 6-3, 6-4 despite perhaps not being at his sharpest. Michelsen will no doubt want to improve the accuracy of his first serve, as his speed and ability to cover the court across a point is of a very high standard.
Daniel Merida has also beaten a seed, overcoming Frenchman Ugo Humbert in round two. Humbert was very good across his opponent’s service games and will try to put pressure on Michelsen. But the American on this service knows Merida well and how to get the better of him. Expect him to do so again in Montreal.
