Alex Michelsen clawed back from a two-set hole to beat fellow American Nishesh Basavareddy 6-7(5) 3-6 6-3 6-3 6-3 in the second round of the French Open, reversing the match after dropping a tight opener on a 7-5 tiebreak. Michelsen leaned on his serve — 10 aces — and finally cashed in late, converting 4 of 15 break points to wear down Basavareddy across nearly four hours. The shot-conversion gap is the headline: Basavareddy was clinical early (3/8) but couldn't generate enough looks once Michelsen settled into the rallies on clay.
