THE PREDICTION

World number 63 Lorenzo Musetti came through the qualifiers relatively unscathed over the weekend but the Italian gets better with the occasion. The 20-year-old burst onto the scene at the 2020 Italian Open with victories over Kei Nishikori and Stan Wawrinka and he reached the round of 16 at Roland-Garros last season before retiring in the fifth set against eventual champion Novak Djokovic. World number 48 Ilya Ivashka won his first ATP title last season at the Winston-Salem Open on hard but the 28-year-old is pretty solid on the clay and his powerful ball-striking will be favoured by the Madrid conditions. Musetti has beaten the likes of Felix Auger-Aliassime and Albert Ramos-Vinolas on clay in recent weeks and he should be the man to eventually come through this first encounter. Back the Italian outright here with three sets likely.
