Fritz vs Michelsen DC Open 2026: Who Wins? [WLEQpCH5wsF]

Taylor Fritz has not been broken at the 2026 DC Open. He hasn't dropped a set. His serve has looked dominant. And against Kamil Majchrzak, Fritz won 90% of his first-serve points without facing a single break point. But now he faces Alex Michelsen. And Michelsen is 2–0 against Fritz. That includes a straight-sets victory over him earlier this year at Indian Wells. So can Michelsen upset the No. 3 seed again? In this DC Open quarterfinal prediction, we break down Fritz vs Michelsen, why Michelsen's movement and return game have caused Fritz problems, what Fritz needs to change, and the numbers that could decide this all-American matchup. My prediction: Alex Michelsen wins 7–6, 6–4. And if Michelsen beats Fritz for a third consecutive time, his DC Open run could become much bigger than just one upset. Who are you taking? Fritz or Michelsen? #TaylorFritz #AlexMichelsen #DCOpen
