Playing styles and prediction

It has been an encouraging start to the season for Michelsen as the American reached the second week at the Australian Open by scoring wins over Stefanos Tsitsipas and Karen Khachanov. Now the talented American looks to find some consistency as he aims for a big month on home soil with Indian Wells and Miami coming up.

Norrie will need to be aggressive on serve and will play smart block returns in order to extend the rallies on return games. Meanwhile Michelsen will use the forehand to be aggressive and put the Brit on the back foot. This will be a tough task for Norrie but he will be demanding a positive performance as he needs to get some momentum back over the next few months.

Prediction: Michelsen in three sets.
