🔍 Match Breakdown

The all-Italian duel offers contrasting rhythms. Musetti thrives when dictating pace through shape and variety, while Sonego’s best path lies in assertive, serve-first tennis — hitting his spots and stepping inside the baseline to attack Musetti’s backhand corner early in rallies.

Musetti’s recent fatigue makes this more interesting. His all-court skill set gives him a tactical edge, but energy levels could waver after his heavy autumn schedule. Expect Sonego to target quick points, shorten exchanges, and test Musetti’s movement from the start. If Musetti drifts passive or misfires on defense, Sonego’s forehand can take over.

The first set will be pivotal: Musetti often grows into matches once he reads serve patterns. Sonego’s ability to maintain high first-serve efficiency and avoid mid-set lapses will determine whether he can stretch this beyond two sets.

🔮 Prediction

Musetti’s shot-making and return precision give him the upper hand on paper, but his workload leaves a small upset window. Sonego’s form uptick and aggressive mindset could snag a set if he serves well and keeps rallies short. Over time, though, Musetti’s versatility and backhand control should separate him in deciding moments.

Pick: Lorenzo Musetti in three sets — expect one tight opener and a momentum swing before the No. 8 seed steadies late.
