Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the ATP Rome match.
Of course, the local public would like to see the Italian final. They expect Jannik Sinner to win another semi-final. But Musetti and Alcaraz are pretty equal.
Carlos Alcaraz
He’s currently third in the world rankings. He has already won one tournament on the clay surface this season. Alcaraz reached the final in Barcelona to lose it to Holger Rune. Carlos Alcaraz has won 13 out of the 14 games played on clay this season.
Lorenzo Musetti
The quarter-final match versus Alexander Zverev was pretty tough. At least in the beginning. However, after Musetti won the tie-break 7:1 everything was easier. The Italian won it (6:4), winning the game too. It wasn’t the simplest game for the italian player but he has enough strengths left for the semi-final match.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Lorenzo Musetti Prediction
Carlos Alcaraz has won four out of the previous five games against Lorenzo Musetti, including the Monte Carlo tournament final ((3:6, 6:1, 6:0). Now Alcaraz can lose, though. Lorenzo Musetti will fight until the end in every period of the game.
