Rubin Noah - Ymer Mikel

Two young talents, American Rubin Noah and Ymer Mikel are playing for the main draw.
Rubin Noah is a consonant player of the challenger level. He is currently ranked 148th in the ATP list. This year his biggest success is the Noumea challenger's finale in open hard court where he lost for today’s rival Ymer Mikel in straight sets.
This he has 7/5 on open hard in these 5 defeats 3 of them are from players that are not even in the top 200. He is not constant with good games and cn not find his form this season. In the first round he played against Dellien Hugo and won in two sets, but I did not expect nothing else, because Hugo had 4 out of 14 for his career on hard courts since he is on the tour. Noah didn’t serve very well, he offered to his opponent 4 BP, he had a poor percentage of the first service in and a few double faults.
On the other hand, Ymer has perfectly opened the season by winning Noumea Challenger and has played the constant of several games. Then he was called for the Davis Cup against Colombia, which was the only thing he played on clay court this season, after that defeat he sayed that there must be made some changes in the national team because there are obviously people who still live in the world of racism in front of sport.
He came to qualification with a wildcard and in first round dominated agains one former hope of American tennis Ryan Harrison 6-1 6-3, so he did not allow a break, 84% of 1st service went in.
Ymer is a member of the IMG Academy. He was part of Miami main draw for two years in a row with a wildcard and last year in first round he kicked out Struff. This year they had to make some changes and most members of the IMG Academy received WC only for qualifications.
Ymer most free time passes to the IMG Academy and this is exactly in Florida, when he finished last season in mid-November and he immediately moved to Florida and trained at the academy until the very beginning of this season. He has been on IMG since the very beginning of 2014, so courts ae more familiar to him.
Ymer leads H2H with 2-0 2019 and 2017 and he have not lost a set.
I think Ymer currently is playing better tennis and providing quality games, will have a lot of confidence on these courts, the advantage is on his and I expect his victory.
