Home advantage and Head-2 head speak for the Italian
Musetti and Zverev have met three times on the ATP tour so far and only the first duel in Madrid 2022 went to the Germans because his 23-year-old opponent had to give up injured. Musetti each won the last two matches: At the Olympic Games last year, he tended Zverev out when the acting Olympic champion in the quarter -finals at the time and the victory went to Italy at the tournament in Vienna. In Rome, two -strong players now meet on their favorite covering – can the number nine in the world use the home advantage?

Musetti with strong shape on sand
The Italian Lorenzo Musetti is currently playing his best tennis and will be the next endurance test for Zverev! The 23-year-old reached the first Masters final of his career in Monte-Carlo and first moved into the top 10. In Madrid, Musetti confirmed his strong shape by moving into the semi -finals! In front of a home backdrop, the Italian is still without loss of sets, because against Virtan, Nakashima and Medvedev, it each set smooth victories. In 2025, Musetti was at a balance from 19-6, while Zverev is at 24-8.

Zverev conquered fear opponents
Zverev has traveled to the Italian capital as a defending champion and has so far been justice: In his first match, the Hamburg Ugo Carabelli defeated very confidently and also conquered the qualifier Gaubas 6: 4, 6-0 from the tournament. In the round of 16, the first endurance test was waiting with the Frenchman Fils, which has also turned out to be an fear opponent in the recent past. But Zverev played at a high level, won the first set in the tie -break and won the second round 6: 1 because Fils got the error rate higher and higher. In the course of the tournament, number two in the world rankings have not yet given a sentence!
