Seventh seed Alex Michelsen will take on Cameron Norrie in the first round of the Dallas Open. The winner of this match will face either Reilly Opelka or Alexander Shevchenko in the second round of the ATP 500 event.

Michelsen came close to winning a title last year, but settled for runner-up finishes at the Winston-Salem Open and the Hall of Fame Open in Newport. He also reached the semifinals of the Moselle Open, where he lost to Benjamin Bonzi in three-sets.

The American will enter Dallas on the back of a fourth round exit in Melbourne. He cruised past the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Karen Khachanov en route to the last four, but fell short against Alex De Minaur. The eighth seed outfoxed Michelsen in straight sets, 6-0, 7-6(5), 6-3.

Cameron Norrie, meanwhile, had a modest season last year by securing a runner-up finish in the Moselle Open and a semfinal run in the Rio Open. He also reached the third round of the Wimbledon Championships, where he lost to Alexander Zverev in straight sets.

The Brit will enter Dallas on the back of a disappointing first round exit in Melbourne. Despite a valiant effort against Matteo Berrettini, the Italian came through in four sets, 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-1, 6-3.

Alex Michelsen is quickly making a name for himself on the main tour. Apart from runner-up finishes in Newport and Winston-Salem, he also defeated top players such as Alex De Minaur and Taylor Fritz last year. The American is high-rated among the critics and is close to winning his first title on tour in 2025.

Cameron Norrie, on the other hand, has been churning out promising results occasionally, but will need to raise his level against the best players on tour. The Brit lacks the killer intinct during close matches and will need to find a way to be more clinical. He has a steady all-around game and likes to use his forehand to good effect.

Michelsen has already reached three finals on the main tour and recently chalked up a fourth round finish in Melbourne. He seems to be enjoying his tennis at the moment and should be able to get past Norrie in the first round. The American has the potential to make a deep run in the Dallas Open this year.

Pick: Michelsen to win in three-sets.
