Italy

Lorenzo Musetti

France

Benoit Paire

In the first game, the Frenchman will take on the favourite. At least 10 games will be played

Muzetti had a poor start to the season. He did more or less well at a tournament in Rotterdam, where he reached the quarter-finals. At other events, Lorenzo was usually knocked out after the first or second round. However, on clay, Lorenzo's results improved. In Marrakech, for example, he reached the quarter-finals. He beat Albert Ramos (7-6, 6-1) and Carlos Taberner (6-1, 6-7, 6-3) in the first two rounds but then lost to Laszlo Gyor (3-6, 2-6). Peer is a mood player. You never know what tricks Benoit will come up with this time. The Frenchman was only good at the Australian Open this season, reaching the third round. Then Benoit only disappointed his fans. He lost five matches in a row. Only at the Challenger in Phoenix did he finally broke his streak, beating Emilio Nava. Peer's last tournament was the Masters in Miami. However, in Florida, Benoit played horribly again. Already in the first round he lost to Henri Laaksonen (6-7, 6-1, 4-6). The bookmakers do not believe in Peer. The reason is that his form is far from optimum. However, if Peer is properly tuned, the result will be quite different. Benoit will be able to put up a good fight against the favourite at the start. Muzetti is not yet in the greatest shape, and the Frenchman has proved more than once that he can serve well. In such a situation it is worth betting that at least 10 games will be played in the first set. In the opening set, both players will be very focused and determined to win.
