Lorenzo Musetti vs Stefanos Tsitsipas – Match Predictions
Contents
Lorenzo Musetti to Win
Tsitsipas romped to an easy win over Alex deMinaur and now turns his attention towards a well-rested Musetti. The Italian youngster has a losing record against Tsitsipas but dent that in this game. He added the prized scalp of Novak Djokovic in Monte Carlo and it might be the Greek’s turn this time around. Moreover, Musetti gets his tail up in semi-final outings and has yet to be defeated. While Tsitsipas is not an easy target, the rigours of regular action will catch up with him. Ex
2-1 to Lorenzo Musetti
Musetti’s first loss to Tsitspas came in straight sets. He shaved off a set in their next meeting and made the Greek work extra hard in his 3-2 victory in French Open. The Italian is well-rested, high on confidence and will be looking to get one over his rival. It will not be easy as the Greek ace only allowed a single breakpoint in his last outing. It will go to the wire but we expect him to rise to the occasion and earn a final placement at Tsitsipas’ expense.
Lorenzo Musetti vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in this tournament.
Lorenzo Musetti
Lorenzo Musetti has secured a place in the semifinals of ATP Barcelona after Jannik Sinner withdrew from their quarterfinal match. Musetti had a slow start to the season but found his form at the Monte Carlo Masters last week, where he recorded impressive wins and caused a major upset by defeating world #1 Novak Djokovic.
Reaching the semifinals has been a good omen for the Italian youngster, as he has always gone on to win the title when he has cleared this stage in his young career. Musetti has previously claimed victories at this stage in ATP 500 events in Hamburg and Naples in 2022.
Stefanos Tsitsipas
Stefanos Tsitsipas has been playing impressively at the ATP Barcelona, winning against tough opponents like Alex de Minaur and Denis Shapovalov without losing more than four games in a set. This winning streak could help him regain his confidence after a shoulder injury earlier this year hindered his performance at Indian Wells Masters and Miami Masters.
Although he has multiple Masters titles and an ATP Finals title, he has yet to win a title at the ATP 500 level, with a record of 0-9 in the finals, including two losses in Barcelona to Rafael Nadal.
