After several seasons where American tennis was looking for players of the future, for two years now the problem seems to have been resolved. With players like Tommy Paul, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe in the ATP top 15, the density is present. But above all, the new generation seems to be arriving more quickly than expected, notably with Ben Shelton and… Alex Michelsen! Aged 19, the young American made a sensational entry into the top 100 last year for his first season and his progression has been constant for several months. With a 3rd round at the Australian Open last January, Alex Michelsen strengthened his game appearance after appearance and this week in Los Cabos, the North American won his first career benchmark success by dominating during the second round Alex De Minaur, 9th player in the world and finalist in Rotterdam last weekend. A high-quality performance that validated the progress shown in recent months by the 74th player in the world. This Friday for a place in the last four in Mexico, Alex Michelsen will face Jordan Thompson. The Australian has reached a milestone since last season, with the reward of entering the top 40. Quarter-finalist in Dallas then in Delray Beach, the Oceanian now wants to pass this stage which is still slowing him down this season and for the first time, Jordan Thompson will be favorite to reach the semi-finals of the tournament! Winner without losing a single set from E.Escobedo and E.Nava, the Australian is launched and calm before this meeting in Los Cabos.
