Lorenzo Musetti vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard prediction

Lorenzo Musetti is beginning to gain some momentum in this clay court season. He made his return from injury at Monte-Carlo, losing his opening round match to Valentin Vacherot. However, Barcelona was more encouraging as he won two matches to reach the quarters, where he lost to eventual winner Arthur Fils. The Italian followed that up with a round-of-16 finish in Madrid. Musetti reached the semi-finals of this event last year.

He will face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the next round. He marked his return from injury with a three set win over Jacob Fearnley. This first-round match was played over two days, with Mpetshi Perricard coming out on top, winning 7-6 (6) 4-6 6-2. 

Musetti leads the head-to-head 4-1, but Mpetshi Perricard won their most recent meeting at the European Open last year. The surface heavily favours Musetti here, and he should have no trouble advancing to the next round.
