Cameron Norrie
Great BritainCurrent form
Norrie played his last match at the Australian Open. Cameron lost to Matteo Berrettini in the first round of the Australian major. In total, the Briton has two wins in five matches this year.
Professional qualities
Norrie is a classic pusher who prefers protracted draws and forcing rivals to make mistakes. The Briton has a technical left-handed forehand with good top spin, but his two-handed backhand is flat and less dangerous. He's not too aggressive offensively, but he can sometimes surprise on fast courts.
Current indicators in the tour
Norrie is currently ranked 63rd in the world, although he was once in the top 10. During his career, the Briton has won 12 trophies, five of which are in the ATP category. He won his last trophy two years ago at a clay competition held in Rio de Janeiro.

Alex Michelsen
USACurrent form
Last week, Mickelsen played one match in the Davis Cup - he beat Sun-Lin Wu in two sets. It was his seventh win of the season, with three losses.
Professional qualities
Mikelsen is known for his reliable backline play. He has fast feet and high-quality punches with both hands, and there are practically no technical flaws. In Melbourne, he often demonstrates excellent play at the net, which makes him especially dangerous. His performance since the summer is one of the key factors that can help him beat Norrie.
Current indicators in the tour
Michelsen is ranked 36th in the world rankings. This is his highest position. During his career, the American has won four titles, most of which he won in 2023. Then he won one of the futures and won on the outdoor hardboard tutil in Chicago, and also on the indoor hardboard he won the trophy in Knoxville.

2.11Tip and bets
Norrie is currently inferior to Mickelsen in all components of the game. Alex is able to dominate the backline only thanks to his powerful forehand, not to mention his strong and accurate serve, which will also be a key moment in the upcoming match against the Briton.
