Lorenzo Musetti vs Otto Virtanen prediction

Lorenzo Musetti has enjoyed a productive clay court campaign so far though the Italian will hope a title is just around the corner after recent near misses. He reached the final of the Monte-Carlo Masters, coming from a set down in four of his five matches to get there, while also taking the first set against Carlos Alcaraz before running out of steam and losing in three sets.

He subsequently withdrew from Barcelona before going on another promising run in Madrid, reaching the semi-finals without dropping a set but then losing to Great Britain’s Jack Draper. Nevertheless, Musetti should be confident of another deep run in Rome.

He takes on Otto Virtanen who defeated Hamad Medjedovic 6-4 6-4 in the first-round. 

Musetti has won 16 out of 22 matches this season and will have the home crowd behind him as he begins his campaign. We can’t see anything other than a convincing win for the Italian.
