Taylor Fritz vs Alex Michelsen Prediction & Picks - ATP Geneva Open

Prediction published on 5/22/24, 1:44 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 5/22/24 at 3:44 AM in Tennis Picks

In great form on clay recently with a series of matches, Taylor Fritz has decided to maintain his momentum by participating in the Geneva tournament this week. A surprising choice for the world No. 12, who has clearly adapted to this surface since the beginning of spring. A finalist in Munich in mid-April, the American continued his streak by reaching the semifinals at the Madrid Masters 1000 before making it to the quarterfinals in Rome last week. These results will make Taylor Fritz a dark horse at Roland Garros and particularly someone the favorites will want to avoid.

For his debut in Switzerland this Wednesday, the American will face a compatriot named Alex Michelsen. Less known than his fellow countryman, the world No. 65 continues his rise, having been ranked 599 just a year and a half ago. Still very young at 19 years old, Alex Michelsen is seeking stability in his game, as he is prone to making too many errors in rallies. Less comfortable on clay than on faster surfaces, the young North American has significant room for improvement in his tennis. Having been knocked out in the first round in Houston, Madrid, and Rome, Alex Michelsen understands the journey he has ahead of him, and this test against Taylor Fritz will be beneficial for his future.
