Michelsen Alex vs Merida Daniel preview
Alex Michelsen faces Daniel Merida at the ATP US Open on September 4, 2026, at 15:00 UTC. This match serves as a rematch of their recent encounter in Montreal, where Merida defeated Michelsen 6-4, 6-7, 6-1.
Merida enters this contest following a period of strong form on hardcourts, having beaten four top-50 players recently. His momentum includes a maiden ATP title win in Umag and a quarter-final appearance in Montreal. Conversely, Michelsen’s current tournament run features a victory over Brandon Nakashima in the previous round. While Michelsen successfully navigated Nakashima’s serve in that match, he now faces a baseline-oriented opponent in Merida who has demonstrated consistent movement and the ability to hit winners during his recent run.
