Alex Michelsen comes into Cincinnati riding a breakthrough season.
The 20-year-old American soared to a career-high ranking of world No. 30 this summer, with his 2025 campaign starting with a fourth-round run at the Australian Open and including a defeat of Lorenzo Musetti at the Canadian Open.
His aggressive baseline game and momentum from the North American hard-court swing have positioned him as one to watch.
Corentin Moutet, ranked No. 44, is enjoying a resurgence marked by his first top‑10 win over Holger Rune in Rome, followed by an upset of Taylor Fritz at Queen’s Club. His creative, unpredictable style — complete with underarm serves and varied backhands — has unsettled opponents throughout 2025.
Michelsen–Moutet Head-to-Head
Their only prior meeting occurred last year in Monte-Carlo, where Moutet beat Michelsen 6-1, 6-3.
Prediction
Michelsen in 3 tight sets. Despite Moutet’s stylistic edge and prior win, Michelsen’s summer surge, hard-court progression, and baseline depth give him a narrow advantage.
