WATCH: Alex Michelsen and Michael Mmoh’s heated argument steals the spotlight in Delray Beach Open 2025

On February 12, 2025, at the Delray Beach Open 2025, a second-round thriller between Alex Michelsen and Michael Mmoh took a turn when a star player, Mmoh, after clinching the first set, had a heated exchange with Michelsen when he returned on the court.

Following Mmoh's brief off-court visit after his first set win, a heated exchange took place between the two-star players. The details of the exchange are somewhat vague, as Michelsen declined to elucidate on the post-match interview. The star player mentioned that they are wanting to discuss it privately with Mmoh, clarifying he didn't want to say the wrong things publicly and assuring that everything was fine between them.

"I told him at the net I wanted to talk about it with him inside. I don't want say too much [outside]. I don't want to say the wrong things. I mean, it's all good. Everything's gonna be fine. No, he didn't but it looked like it, I mean he had to go off-court so something with his glute. It's what it looked like and I saw him grab it a couple of times," Alex Michelsen refuses to open up about his brief on-court feud.

Alex Michelsen advanced to the quarter-finals of the Delray Beach Open 2025

Michelsen noted that Mmoh appeared to have a glute issue, which might have contributed to his retirement. After Michelsen took a 3-0 lead in the second set, Mmoh was unable to continue the match. Following the same, Alex Michelsen advanced to the quarter-finals of the Delray Beach Open 2025 in Florida.

Michelsen, the world number 37, entered as a number three seed here and received a bye in the first-round thriller. Earlier, the star player made it to the quarterfinals of the ASB Classic and gained attention when he defeated 11th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the opening round of the Australian Open 2025.
