Cameron Norrie v Alex Michelsen Head to Head
Norrie and Michelsen have never faced off before this.
Norrie Slide Continues after Australian Open Exit
Once ranked eighth in the world, Norrie’s poor season in 2024 meant he was 49th by the end of it. Fast forward a month, Norrie will enter the Dallas Open for his first round encounter ranked 63rd on the ATP charts.
This has been brought about a plethora of underwhelming performances to kick-start the new year from the Brit’s racquet.
Norrie might have thought he had reversed his form slide when he made the quarterfinal of the Hong Kong – his first tournament of the season – but from that point on, he has lost three matches in a row.
He went down to Kei Nishikori in Hong Kong, lost to Facundo Diaz Acosta at Auckland and was then sent packing by Matteo Berrettini at the Australian Open.

Michelsen at His Career-Best
The contrast couldn’t have been sharper between Alex Michelsen and his opponent here. While Norrie is having a torrid time by his own lofty standards, Michelsen is slowly and steadily moving up the rankings chart.
He had only just broken into the top 100 at the start of the 2024 season and a year later he was already 41st in the world.
And Michelsen has only improved from that point onward, making second round at Brisbane, quarterfinals in Auckland and the fourth round at the Australian Open.
Add a Davis Cup win late last week to his name and Michelsen looks to be flying high at the moment and will start a heavy favourite here.
Norrie v Michelsen Prediction
Norrie has a lot of tennis still in him but he needs to find a way to get himself on court again. He will need to do the hard yards, make that effort on and off the court. Till such time, we will need to back someone like Michelsen to win this encounter.
Norrie v Michelsen Tips
- Michelse to win: 2/5
