Command Analysis

Alex Michelsen

Current form
Mikelsen has yet to have a single clay match this season. Alex played exclusively on the hard disk. The American left the recent Miami Masters after the second round, losing to Camilo Hugo Carabelli.
Professional qualities
Mikelsen is not always stable in the exchange of shots on the back line, although for his considerable size he is quite mobile and able to get most difficult balls. The best shot in the American's arsenal is a backhand. But it's also worth noting Alex's serve - it's powerful and accurate. With a good serve, the American does not hesitate to go to the net in order to complete a particular draw faster.
Current indicators in the tour
Mikelsen is the 34th racket of the world at the moment. The 20-year-old American has won four titles in his career. Alex won his last trophy in 2023, winning the home indore challenger, which was held in Knoxville.
Interesting facts for betting
Mikelsen has won only 1 of the last 4 matches.

Learner Tien

Current form
Tien has played most of his matches this season on the open hard court. Lerner has not played a single match on clay this year. In general, during his career, the American has only three wins in seven matches on clay courts.
Professional qualities
Tien is left-handed, which gives him a significant advantage over right-handed players with a bad backhand. Lerner doesn't rush things on the tennis court. He can both attack and play from the opponent. The American is good at playing on the back line, which he actually already managed to demonstrate this season in the Australian Open game against Daniil Medvedev.
