LiontipsMusetti vs Mannarino. ATP Chengdu Match Prediction and Betting Tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Musetti came to Chengdu to defend last year's semifinal. The Italian representative missed the first round, and in the second he crossed rackets with Christopher O'Connell. Despite the fact that Lorenzo was the favorite, he barely got past his opponent. He won in three sets.
The Italian only needs to win one match to defend last year's result.
Professional qualities
Musetti continues to improve. The Italian performs well on any surface. Reliable actions on the back line have brought him success so far. However, Lorenzo did not approach the tournament in Chengdu in the best playing form. He is still trying to get used to the surface.
Current indicators in the tour
Musetti is trying to improve his position. He currently ranks 19th in the world rankings, but he has potential. A possible victory over Mannarino would be his 11th this season on outdoor hard courts.
Interesting facts for betting
Musetti has been inconsistent in his last four matches. In those games, viewers saw winning games being exchanged. The previous match in the tournament showed that the Italian's problems have not gone away. It is likely that the saga will continue.
Current form
Mannarino has reached his second quarterfinal in a row. Last week he managed to do so at the Challenger in Rennes, where he lost to Finley. In Chengdu, the Frenchman has been winning so far. With difficulty, but he still got past Atman and Zhu. Both matches ended in three sets.
Professional qualities
Mannarino has always been famous for his success on fast surfaces. A good serve and a sharp attacking style of play brought him success. Over time, the veteran's results have worsened, but given his class, he can still win a couple of matches.
Current indicators in the tour
At the beginning of the year, Mannarino reached the fourth round of the Australian Open. This result secured the Frenchman 46th place in the world ranking. However, on open hard courts this season he has a negative balance of wins and losses - 8:14.
