Daniil Medvedev vs Alex Michelsen prediction

Alex Michelsen once again got the better of Taylor Fritz to charge into the round of 16.

The world number 44 upset the American number one and former champion by a 6-4 7-6 scoreline to move 2-0 up in their head-to-head.

Michelsen will now tackle Daniil Medvedev after the Russian cruised to a 6-4 6-0 victory over Sebastian Baez. 

The 11th seed owns the head-to-head 3-0 and won 6-4 6-2 in the semi final in Brisbane earlier this year. 

Indeed, Medvedev has never dropped a set against the American and given his eight-match winning streak and 2026 record of 16-4, the former US Open champion is the clear pick.
