DANIEL ELAHI GALAN VS LORENZO MUSETTI PREDICTION
World number 30 Lorenzo Musetti brings a poor 9-14 record into Roland-Garros but there were promising signs at a Turin Challenger two weeks ago, particularly after suffering an injury early in Rome.
A straight-sets defeat to fellow Italian Francesco Passaro in Turin does not bode well for his chances at emulating two runs to the round of 16 here, including a famous five-set exit to eventual champion Novak Djokovic in 2021, but he should be able to avoid an early upset against Daniel Elahi Galan, whom he beat en-route to the Napoli Cup title in late 2022.
World number 106 Galan has endured an even tougher start to 2024, bringing a woeful record of 4-11 into the draw, but he reached the round of 16 at Wimbledon last summer to show some real resilience in longer format tennis.
The Colombian also lost to Passaro in Turin before an early exit in Lyon last time out but this match outcome is on the racket of Musetti, who is a sumptuous player at his best in these conditions. Back the Italian to win outright for caution’s sake.
