Match Preview

Alex Michelsen will be a huge outsider in the betting to reach the next round at the National Bank Open this week. However, the American’s game has progressed excellently in recent months, and he currently sits in a ranking of 34th in the world. Michelsen has already shown his ability on a hard court this season after reaching a career-best fourth-round at the Australian Open.

However, he will need to rediscover that form if he is to upset the odds on Thursday. The American is yet to scale the same heights, and that was visible at the recent Cincinnati Open after suffering a straight sets exit in the round of 32 against Dan Evans. But, a return to winning ways did arrive in the previous round in Canada after overcoming Marcelo Barrios Vera.

Due to a number of top players bypassing the tournament in Canada, Lorenzo Musetti is seeded third. Therefore, the Italian will be among the leading contenders to win the National Bank Open. Musetti produced a dominant display in the previous round, as he easily came through a challenge against James Duckworth in straight sets.

But, Musetti’s best performances have often come on non-hard surfaces. He reached the third round at last year’s US Open, but has already progressed further at other majors such as Wimbledon and the French Open during his career.
