On the other hand, Musetti has yet to reach an indoor hard court final in his career. The Italian has a 5-3 win-loss record in Vienna, with last year’s semifinal run being his best result. Known for his prowess on the clay, Musetti has shown steady progress on hard courts, having reached the Chengdu Open final this year, along with having a quarterfinal run at the US Open.
Record in Vienna puts Zverev at an advantage, but the German player’s tendency to play it safe on big points might backfire on him against a creative shot-maker like Musetti. Having beaten the same opponent on the same court will give the Italian the confidence to repeat his performance, making him the slight favorite to win the upcoming match.
Pick- Musetti to win in three sets.
