Alex Michelsen def. Alejandro Tabilo 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 — Miami Open 2026 R32

Match recap

Alex Michelsen defeated Alejandro Tabilo 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the R32 of the Miami Open 2026.

Down a set and chasing, Michelsen found the recovery on return — he converted 2 of 9 break points to Tabilo's 1 of 9, and the chances came late. After dropping the opener, Michelsen broke in game 6 of the second, then twice more in the third (games 5 and 7) to close out a comeback decided by Tabilo's unraveling baseline: 40 unforced errors to Michelsen's 23. Michelsen never coughed up a double fault across all three sets and now draws Sinner for the first time.
