Known for his powerful baseline shots and a dependable first serve, Michelsen has reached the quarterfinals at the 2025 Canadian Open and enters Cincinnati with four wins from his last five matches. However, some vulnerability in his service game, particularly double faults, could be an obstacle against a seasoned opponent.
