Nieźle go zlał nasz Sasza na dużej arenie, ale turniej na bardzo duży plus dla amerykańskiego Olka.

Michelsen makes dominant Delray Beach debut

Spoiler:

#NextGenATP American Alex Michelsen rapidly rose into the Top 100 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings last season. On Tuesday at the Delray Beach Open, the 19-year-old produced more quick work with a 6-1, 6-2 victory against Thanasi Kokkinakis.

Michelsen saved all four break points against him in a one-hour, 11-minute win to seal a dominant debut result at the ATP 250 on home soil.

"I was really solid the entire match. I barely missed a ball from neutral," he said in his on-court interview. "My serve got better and better as the match went on and I'm super happy with the performance."

After competing at the Next Gen ATP Finals last November, Michelsen calmly handled the spotlight on the Delray Beach centre court. The pressure will only grow in his second-round match against countryman Tommy Paul, the third seed who enters the event on the heels of a Dallas title run.

A win in the pair's first Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting would likely see Michelsen improve on his career-high Pepperstone ATP Ranking of World No. 73, which he achieved two weeks ago. In his first full season as a professional, he is currently two places off that mark.

"I definitely still can't believe I jumped from 190 [in July] to 75," he reflected. "That's crazy. I still really can't believe it. I just try to come out here and be the best I can. That's what my coaches tell me, that's what my parents tell me. I just try to do that every time I come out. That's my main focus."

Poszedł na noże z Paulem w DB, ale jeszcze trochę brakuje, żeby przepychać takie mecze. Dobry turniej tak czy siak.

The 2023 Next Gen ATP Finals competitor showed his high level last week in Delray Beach, where he pushed eventual finalist and Dallas champion Tommy Paul to a final-set tie-break. He also made the third round of the Australian Open in January.

Michelsen will try to maintain his form in the second round against third seed Alex de Minaur.
