Lorenzo Musetti vs Francisco Cerundolo prediction
Lorenzo Musetti began his home event with a straight sets win over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. The Italian, who reached the semi-finals of this tournament last year, won 6-4 6-4 after one hour and 28 minutes. The world number 10 reached the round-of-16 at the Madrid Open in his last event. Musetti now faces Francisco Cerundolo.
Cerundolo advanced after a straight-forward victory over Alejandro Tabilo in his opening match. Tabilo had just won a Challenger event in Aix-en-Provence and was expected to challenge the Argentine, but Cerundolo was dominant from the start and lost just two games on his way to winning 6-0 6-2 after one hour and nine minutes.
He leads the head-to-head 2-1 against Musetti, but it’s 1-1 on clay. Cerundolo was convincing in his first match, but Musetti's ceiling in Rome is very high, and he has all the tools to make another deep run in front of his home crowd.
