Rune's form index is slightly better at 52.23 compared to Michelsen's 51.67, but both players show moderate fatigue levels, with Rune at 118 minutes and Michelsen at 146 minutes. The mean serve index is closely matched, with Michelsen edging slightly higher at 97.44, while Rune's mean return index is lower at 84.78, giving Michelsen an advantage in serve capability.

Rune, on the other hand, has shown better form recently, securing a straight-sets victory over Roman Safiullin in his last contest, even though he faced a setback against Alexei Popyrin prior to that. This pattern indicates that Rune has been more consistent in his recent outings.
Final Prediction
Holger Rune's superior ranking, Elo rating, and recent performance give him a definitive edge in this match. A critical factor to observe will be how Michelsen's serving capabilities hold up against Rune's competitive return game, as this could significantly influence the match's dynamics.
