Tennis predictions, Musetti-Djokovic: quarter-finals in Paris-Bercy

A super Lorenzo Musetti at the most difficult exam. Novak Djokovic will be the opponent of the Carrara tennis player in the quarter-finals of Paris-Bercy: it is the first time in his career that Simone Tartarini’s pupil has reached this point in a Masters 1000. The Italian tennis player has enchanted everyone by beating Casper Ruud in three sets: it was the first win against a top-5. While Nole left no chance for Karen Khachanov: 6-4 6-1 without history for the Serbian.

The moment

–

Musetti is experiencing the best moment of his career. Excluding the misstep in Basel, with the defeat against Albert-Ramos, in recent tournaments Lorenzo has made two semifinals (in Sofia and Florence) and won in Naples. The 23rd position of the ranking is the best career position, in case of victory against Djokovic there would be the top-20. But on the other side of the net there will be a hungry and fit Djokovic: 11 wins in a row for the Serbian, who after having triumphed in Tel Aviv and Astana does not want to stop.

Previous

Musetti and Djokovic will face each other for the third time in their career. The first was always in Paris, but on clay at Roland Garros last year. A difficult match to forget, with Lorenzo ahead by two sets and then forced to retire in the fifth set. The second challenge took place this year on the hard courts of Dubai, with Nole’s victory in two halves: 6-3 6-3.

The tip: Djokovic + Over 19.5

–

The prediction goes to Djokovic’s side, based on experience and moment of form. But this Musetti does not start off beaten and can worry anyone: the victory against Ruud is there to prove it. In the event that Nole were to win in two sets, with Over 19.5 we think of a Lorenzo with at least eight games taken home: a 6-4 6-4, or a 7-5 6-4, so to speak. And the Over leaves open the possibility that you go to the third set, not to be excluded on your own. The odds for the combo are 2.10.
