Alex Michelsen of the United States shoots for a quarterfinal spot at the US Men’s Clay Court Champions as he goes head-to-head with French veteran Adrian Mannarino on Thursday.
Michelsen advanced to the round of 16 in Houston with a surgical 6-4, 6-2 win over fellow American rising star Learner Tien on Wednesday. Michelsen avenged her loss to Tien in the semifinal of the NextGen Finals in December by unleashing a barrage of big forehand winners and nifty drop shots that had Tien completely baffled. Michelsen won 86 percent of her first serves and converted 4 of 8 breakpoint chances.
Mannarino barged into the second round with a 7-6(5) 6-3 victory over Yannick Hanfmann of Germany. The Lucky Loser Frenchman captured 34 points off his first serves and broke three times to keep Hanfmann at bay. Mannarino can reach the quarterfinal for the first time since the Chengdu Open if he overcomes one of the United States’ promising players on Thursday.

Alex Michelsen is bound for a big win over Adrian Mannarino, who holds a dismal 38.3 percent win rate on clay. Michelsen has a career 9-13 record on the dirt, but he has shown tremendous improvement as a clay court player in his victory over Tien. If Michelsen can replicate the same shot-making and patience he displayed the other day, a straight-set win over the Frenchman is very much possible. Our betting prediction for Alex Michelsen vs. Adrian Mannarino: Alex Michelsen will cover -4.5 games.
