Musetti vs Ruusuvuori: prediction for the Hamburg European Open match

Lorenzo Musetti ended his 4-match losing streak - in the opening round of the Hamburg European Open, he got a hard-fought victory over Dusan Lajovic (6-7, 7-6, 6-3). In June 2022, Musetti won the Challenger in Forli, beating his compatriot Francesco Passaro (2-6, 6-3, 6-2) in the final. In total, the Italian has 16 wins and six losses on clay courts this year.

Emil Ruusuvuori got a rather unexpected victory over Diego Schwartzman (7-5, 6-4) in the first round of the current tournament in Hamburg. The Finnish player won 11 out of 20 matches on clay courts in 2022, and his best result was reaching the quarterfinals of the Munich Open in April. He was stopped from making a deeper run by Casper Ruud (2-6, 2-6).
