TennisSection previews the 2023 Barcelona Open semifinal match featuring Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Lorenzo Musetti on Saturday, April 22, 2023.

Tsitsipas vs Musetti Match Preview and Prediction

Will Stefanos Tsitsipas get the win? Will Lorenzo Musetti pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where we have an exciting matchup with two great one-handers who are premier performers on the red clay. Who will triumph and move through to the final at the 2023 Barcelona Open?

Stefanos Tsitsipas took down Alex de Minaur quite easily today, improving his head-to-head to 9-0. As he takes on Lorenzo Musetti, it’s by far his toughest match of the tournament so far. Tsitsipas hasn’t been great this year, but it’s only a matter of time that he’ll be back to his best assuming he is no longer hindered by the shoulder injury. Musetti has been quite awful this year as well though, hardly winning matches up until Monte-Carlo last year. Let’s see if the Greek can grab the win and move through to the final of the 2023 Barcelona Open.

Lorenzo Musetti benefited from a withdrawal from his good friend Jannik Sinner, and if Sinner was fit, he very likely would’ve lost to his fellow Italian. Stefanos Tsitsipas isn’t playing his best tennis, but he’s very good on clay and at this tournament in specific, let’s see if Musetti is somehow able to pull out the firepower he had when taking out Djokovic last week. It’ll be a very tough one as he looks to somehow make the final at the 2023 Barcelona Open.

Tsitsipas vs Musetti Prediction and Pick

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Lorenzo Musetti have met three times before, with Stefanos Tsitsipas leading the head to head 3-0. Their last two meetings came on the clay, with both going the distance, with their most recent one being particularly interesting as Tsitsipas came from two sets to love down at the French Open last year. Musetti will have to play a very aggressive game, using his stronger one-hander to get the upper hand. Tsitsipas should get it done in the end though and move on to the final at the 2023 Barcelona Open.
