Michelsen and Engel are on the Day 4 Schedule at Boss Open 2025 on Thursday 12 June 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

The upcoming match between Alex Michelsen and wildcard Justin Engel will mark their first meeting on the tennis court. Michelsen, a 20-year-old American, currently holds the 35th spot in the world rankings, with a career-high of 32. In 2025, he boasts a record of 14 wins and 13 losses, reaching the semifinals in Delray Beach and the second round in Stuttgart. His breakthrough into the top 50 came in August 2024, following a career-best performance at the Australian Open where he reached the fourth round after defeating Tsitsipas. Michelsen’s achievements also include his first ATP Tour win and appearances in the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals at Newport in 2023, where he became the youngest American finalist since Fritz in 2016.

Moreover, Michelsen progressed to ATP Tour finals in 2024 at Newport and Winston-Salem, narrowly missing out on victory against Giron in Newport. His notable win over world No. 9 de Minaur in 2024 Los Cabos stands out, despite falling short in the quarterfinals against eventual champion Thompson. Additionally, Michelsen reached the doubles final at the 2024 ATP Masters 1000 in Cincinnati alongside McDonald. Looking ahead, Michelsen aims to secure his 13th ATP Tour quarterfinal appearance, particularly excelling on grass courts, as seen in his previous outings at events like Newport and Mallorca.

On the other side of the net, Justin Engel, a 17-year-old German player, currently holds the 281st spot in the world rankings, marking a significant improvement from his starting position of 1344 in 2024. Engel made his ATP Tour debut at 2024 Almaty, where he defeated Wong, becoming the youngest German man to win a tour-level match since Boris Becker in 1984. His ITF World Tennis Tour record includes notable achievements on clay courts, with multiple titles in 2024 and 2025. Engel’s ranking progression saw him break into the Top 300, joining a select group of 17-year-olds in the Top 500.

Engel’s quest for his first ATP Tour quarterfinal and a top 50 win reflects his growing potential, demonstrated by his matches against higher-ranked opponents like Cerundolo and Rublev. A victory in the upcoming match would position Engel as the youngest quarterfinalist in the event’s history, a significant milestone on grass since Becker’s triumph in 1985. Additionally, Engel’s potential as a young talent is further emphasized by his inclusion among the youngest tour-level quarterfinalists in this century, alongside notable players like Ryan Harrison and Bernard Tomic. Lastly, his milestone wins across different surfaces put him in an elite group of players who achieved success at a young age, akin to stars like Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev.
