Montreal Masters 2022: Matteo Berrettini vs. Pablo Carreno Busta Tennis Pick and Prediction

TennisSection previews the 2022 Montreal Open as Matteo Berrettini takes on Pablo Carreno Busta in the Round of 64 on Tuesday, August 9th, 2022.

Will Matteo Berrettini get the win? Will Pablo Carreno Busta pull off the upset? This will be a fascinating one, where we have one of the best players in the world despite his ranking taking on an extremely tough first round opponent. Who will triumph and move on to the Round of 32 at the 2022 Montreal Open?

Matteo Berrettini is looking to make a deep run here in Montreal after a really unfortunate chunk of the season withered away from him due to injury, including the entirety of the clay season as well as one of his best events by far, the Wimbledon Championships. As he heads into this match against Pablo Carreno Busta, his level will be high and PCB relly drew the short end of the stick to draw him first round at his level. Let’s see if the Italian hammer can get it done here at the 2022 Montreal Open.

Pablo Carreno Busta has his work cut out for him here as he looks ahead to Matteo Berrettini, a brutal first match. In order to win this one, he’ll really have to hope Berrettini isn’t at his best, or else he’ll fall out quickly due to his more passive nature while Berrettini is a constant aggressive force. I don’t really expect that though considering Berrettini has been in really solid form since his comeback. Let’s see what happens here at the 2022 Montreal Open.

Matteo Berrettini and Pablo Carreno Busta have met once before, with Matteo Berrettini leading the head to head 1-0.Their one and only meeting came at this year’s Australian Open, with the Italian taking him down in 3 tight sets in the fourth round. It was definitely a much quicker court than the one here in Canada, but that match will still play a factor as Berrettini looks ahead to the Round of 32 at the 2022 Montreal Open.
