The second round of the men’s singles draw in Cincinnati will feature top-flight Americans Alex Michelsen and Taylor Fritz, who cross paths again for the second time in three weeks.

Current Form:
Alex Michelsen hurdled his first test in Cincinnati, hacking out a 6-4, 6-4 win over Jesper De Jong in the first round. Ranked 40th in the world, Michelsen is coming off a third-round appearance at the 2026 Canadian Open. He is 5-2 in the North American hard-court season.
After capturing an ATP 500 title in Washington, Taylor Fritz bombed out in his opening match in Montreal, falling to Thiago Tirante 5-7, 3-6. Fritz is 13-8 on the hard court and 28-14 overall in 2026.
The Matchup: Fritz is 1-2 vs. Michelsen in their head-to-head series, though he won the last meeting in three sets at the 2026 Washington Open.
