Lorenzo Musetti vs Alex Michelsen prediction
Lorenzo Musetti won his first match of the North American summer swing with a straight sets win over James Duckworth. The Italian had opportunities to break the Duckworth serve early in the match but let those chances pass him by. Nevertheless, Musetti earned the vital break in the 12th service game of the set to take the lead and then raced ahead in the second to win 7-5 6-1.
Alex Michelsen will be his opponent in the next round as he defeated Tomas Barrios Vera in the second-round. The world number 143 threatened the American at times, with Michelsen forced to save three set points in the first set tiebreak, ultimately taking it 9-7. Michelsen struggled to get away from the Chilean in the second set but found the crucial break in game seven to win 7-6 6-3.
Michelsen produced a poor serving performance overall, with his first serve percentage at just 51%, while he committed eight double faults. He must improve in all areas if he is to beat Musetti, who will have been handed a boost with his first victory since his fine run at the French Open.
