Wild card Jack Draper makes his latest comeback from an injury. Round one of the Mubadala Citi DC Open outdoor hard court tournament sees him face unseeded Alex Michelsen. His opponent has a 16-6 record on this surface in 2026 and our prediction is he will win.
Whoever wins will face either fifth seed Learner Tien or unseeded Adrian Mannarino in round two.
Alex Michelsen was a quarter-finalist in Washington two years ago. Last weekend saw him win the outdoor hard court Challenger Tour tournament held in Bloomfield Hills. On the ATP Tour this year, he has reached one semi-final and the fourth round at Indian Wells and Miami.
This year has seen him have wins on this surface against top players such as Taylor Fritz, Cameron Norrie and Learner Tien.
Jack Draper has only played 13 matches this year, half the number his opponent has won in 2026. This is only his second tournament since April and after reaching the last four in Eastbourne in June, he missed Wimbledon.
Now he makes his latest return and has won four of his seven outdoor hard court matches played this year. His best run on this surface came at Indian Wells where he made it to the last eight. He has lost his last two outdoor hard court matches.
