Friday's Newport quarterfinal pits Alex Michelsen against Liam Broady on grass. Alex Michelsen is 6-4 across recent matches. Liam Broady has won 6 of the last 10.

This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.

Michelsen's 71.1% behind the first serve (against 67.2% for Broady) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Michelsen comes in off a compressed schedule; Broady comes in off a compressed schedule. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Michelsen fractionally more likely to land the big points.
