Alex Michelsen vs Juncheng Shang Prediction & Betting Tips - Next Gen ATP Finals
by Steve Ashfield | in Tennis Predictions
Both of these players won their opening match in the ATP Next Gen Finals. Alex Michelsen is the second seed in this indoor hard court tournament and faces Luca Van Assche in his second match in this round-robin group. Read our match prediction.
Michelsen is the world number 41 and beat the eighth seed Nikesh Basavareddy in his opening match. These matches are being played over the best of five sets but only four games are needed to win a set.
He lost the opening set to his opponent on Wednesday but then won the next three. The first two sets he won were both via tie-breaks. In this tournament, (which is for players aged 20 or under) a tie-break takes place if the score is 3-3 and there were plenty played on day one..
Luca Van Assche is the world number 128 and caused a surprise in his opening match. The French player beat Juncheng Shang by three sets to one. He was never behind in the match and the first two sets were shared.
Again, it was a close match and two tie-breaks were played. Michelsen has had far more success on the ATP Tour than his opponent this year. We tip him to win this match with over 22.5 games played.
