Lorenzo Musetti vs Gregoire Barrere Prediction: A hard-fought match is expected

The talented Italian top 20 in the ATP should get away with a win here. A hard-fought match is expected as Barrere is a tricky opponent, though on grass.

Lorenzo Musetti

Here we have one of the most talented Italian players in the circuit. Someone says he is even better than Sinner; his qualities are visible to anyone watching tennis. However, consistency is what Lorenzo is working on. To be close to beating Djokovic last year, where he got a comeback in 5 sets to lose during the first turn in Santiago, Lorenzo needs to improve the consistency necessary to reach the top 10. Here he's on the second match of the week after beating Gojo 2-0 in the previous match. He's the favorite, and we believe he can win if he stays focused on the target.

Barrere Gregoire

The French-born player has presented in the circuit for a while, being 29 years old. He has more experience than Musetti. However, his best surface isn't grass, as he's a decent hard-court player. He's number 58 ATP and comes up for the first time against the Italian talent after beating a very good opponent in the first round, Otte, the big server German who on the grass normally goes a lot further in these tournaments. He can give a good battle to Musetti in this match.

Expert Betting Tips

While Barrere can create some trouble on Musetti's court position, being much more aggressive than him, the talent and qualities of the two players here differ quite a lot. If Musetti can keep the focus for the entire match, there should not be any doubt about who's the winner, but we have seen him mentally suffering the matches where he is the favorite. We believe Musetti will still win but not without any risks.
