Get ready for some exciting tennis action as we dive into the world of the ATP Tour! With the season rapidly coming to a close, there's still plenty of drama and surprises in store.
The Unbelievable American
One player who's making waves and grabbing attention is the American, Alex Michelsen. He's currently in the trial period with a new coach, Kristof Vliegen, and they're putting their skills to the test at the Almaty Open. But here's where it gets controversial... Michelsen's recent form in singles has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but his doubles game has been on fire!
Alex de Minaur, his teammate at the Laver Cup, couldn't help but praise Michelsen, calling him 'unbelievable' for his incredible tennis skills in the doubles format. And this is the part most people miss - Michelsen's success in doubles isn't just about the wins, but also about the valuable practice and experience it provides for his singles game.
At the Almaty Open, Michelsen is looking to turn things around after a five-match losing streak in singles. He believes the altitude could be a game-changer, giving his shots that extra penetration. And with a potential new coaching partnership in the works, Michelsen is hoping to find his winning formula.
So, will Michelsen's trial period with Vliegen pay off? And can he translate his doubles success into singles glory? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - this American player is definitely one to watch!
