Gianluca Mager vs Lorenzo Musetti : Preview
Gianluca Mager has been having a busy season this year playing in 11 tournaments on the ATP Tour while also playing at the Challenger tournaments. While he was able to win the title at the Marbella Challenger, his best result on the ATP tour has been qualifying for the quarter-finals at the Delray Beach Open 2021 in Australia and also at the Belgrade Open 2021 in Serbia.
He switches city from Rome to Parma as he comes from the Rome Masters 2021 where he was knocked out in the 2nd round by fellow Italian Lorenzo Sonego in straight-sets.
Lorenzo Musetti continues his ups and downs on the tour as he will contest in his 9th ATP tournament while he has also played at 5 Challenger tournaments finishing runner-up twice. The 19-year old teenager will play in his 6th Clay tournament in Parma in preparation for the upcoming French Open 2021.
He will travel to Parma from the ATP Lyon Open 2021 where he reached till the semi-finals losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas in 3-sets, his second defeat to Stefanos in their 2nd meeting which coincidentally happened in semi-finals again after their Acapulco Open 2021 semi-final encounter.
Gianluca Mager vs Lorenzo Musetti : Head to Head
This will be the first ever meeting between the two Italians, hence the head-to-head stands at 0-0.
Gianluca Mager vs Lorenzo Musetti : Prediction
Both the players have played some of their best tennis on Clay and have the potential to swing the match either ways. However, Musetti given his current form and confidence that he will carry from Lyon could give him an extra edge that can help him push himself over the finish line.
Mager will look to use his rest and wrap up the match quickly as Musetti will play his 2nd match in as many days, that can be advantageous for Mager as Musetti will fly from Lyon to Parma after his 3-set defeat to Tsitsipas.
Prediction: Lorenzo Musetti to win in 3-sets.
