LORENZO MUSETTI VS TAYLOR FRITZ PREDICTION

This has all the makings of being an absolute thriller when factoring in the respective play-styles of Lorenzo Musetti and Taylor Fritz, who should each be very difficult to separate. Recent Croatian Open finalist and Wimbledon semi-finalists, Musetti has the ability and endurance to turn this into a real battle, whilst Fritz is likely to bank on his power being able to pull him through.

However, it warrants mentioning that Fritz is currently competing in three Olympic tournaments, singles, men’s doubles with Tommy Paul and mixed doubles with Coco Gauff. This may well have an adverse effect on the American who could find himself playing more than one match on Wednesday. A gruelling encounter here won’t help his cause, as it’s hard not to see Musetti dragging Fritz into a three-setter.
