Second seed Arthur Fils and unseeded Alex Michelsen will square off in the second round in Basel. This will be their second meeting in the space of a week. Fils prevailed in the duo’s earlier meeting, and our prediction backs him for this too.
Michelsen will be keen to avoid back-to-back losses in this fixture after last week’s loss to Fils in Brussels. The American, who is making his Basel debut, defeated Botic van de Zandschulp in the first round.
It was a tough opener, which lasted for two hours and 41 minutes, with Michelsen winning via a decider. Michelsen, who has now won four of six indoor fixtures, has improved to 38 wins and is up to 32nd in the live ranking.
Arthur Fils will fancy his chances against Michelsen after a strong showing against him last week. The Frenchman won their quarter-final showdown in Brussels in straight sets.
He would go on to reach the semis in Belgium, his sixth such achievement this term. Fils is having a career year. He has reached the final in three events, all ATP 500 and above, and won twice.
His court success has impacted his world ranking, and in September, the 22-year-old broke into the top 10. Currently up to seventh in the live ranking, Fils, a former Basel semi-finalist, defeated compatriot Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard last time out.
