Alex Michelsen vs Jakub Mensik prediction
Michlesen is one of the most promising youngsters on tour. The American has a happy knack of beginning well at most events and will test Mensik in the singles round. He has a steady all-around game and hardly makes any unwanted errors on the court.
Meanwhile, Jakub Mensik has looked slightly tired in the last few months. The Czech has been under pressure to deliver again after his recent success in Miami. He uses his serve to great effect and likes to take a no-nonsense approach.
An engrossing match is on the cards between two talented players in San Francisco. Considering Mensik's match fitness and impressive results against higher-ranked opponents, he will have a slight edge in this round.
Pick: Mensik to win in three sets.
