Cameron Norrie and Alex Michelsen meet in the first round of the 2025 Dallas Open on Tuesday, February 4, 2025. Here's our Cameron Norrie vs Alex Michelsen prediction. This preview will also include a Cameron Norrie vs Alex Michelsen pick.

 

Cameron Norrie Preview

Cameron Norrie's ranking continues to sink even lower. He was ranked in the top 20 at this time last year and was the British No. 1 male player. But that has changed after a subpar season in 2024. He couldn't retain his title in Rio and posted a negative win-loss record at Tour level.

Norrie finds himself outside the top 60 as he prepares to play in Dallas for the first time. He has opted to swap the clay of South America for the indoor hard courts this February. 

Norrie started the new season competing in Hong Kong where he scored wins over Learner Tien and Lorenzo Sonego before going out in the quarterfinal at the hands of Kei Nishikori.

Since then, he hasn't won any matches from two tournaments. He was knocked out in the first round of Auckland and had the gruesome luck of drawing Matteo Berrettini in the opening round of the Australian Open. He lost that match in four sets.

 

Alex Michelsen Preview

As Norrie tumbles in the rankings, Alex Michelsen has had no trouble climbing the ATP standings in the past year. The Next Gen star is now a member of the world's Top 40.

Michelsen sits at a career-high ranking of No. 36 thanks to his fourth-round finish at the Australian Open where he beat former top 10 players Stefanos Tsitsipas and Karen Khachanov.

Overall, Michelsen compiled six wins and three losses Down Under. He was also a quarterfinalist in Auckland. His most recent appearance came at the Davis Cup last week, where he earned a singles win over Tung-lin Wu of Chinese Taipei.

This is the second time he is appearing in Dallas. He lost to Frances Tiafoe in straight sets in last year's edition.

Cameron Norrie vs Alex Michelsen Prediction

Michelsen should be winning this match. He's the clear favorite at -250, but I don't think he's justified this price. Norrie is also too big of an underdog to turn down here. Yes, he's had a less-than-ideal start to the season, but he cannot be underestimated thanks to his knack for raising his level when you least expect it. Case in point is his run to the Metz final last year after a four-match losing run. It was seriously impressive and I'm not sleeping on him in this one. Give me Norrie at +190.
