Tiafoe vs Musetti Head-to-Head

Lorenzo Musetti leads this tight rivalry 3-2. But two of Musetti’s wins have been on clay and they haven’t played on grass, so Frances Tiafoe could have an edge at the Stuttgart Open.

Tiafoe vs Musetti Prediction

We have no. 3 seed Frances Tiafoe coming up against sixth seed Lorenzo Musetti for the third time this season. We didn’t get to see both players at full strength at the United Cup in January, Msueti obviously retiring in that match due to a shoulder injury. There meeting in Rome was an epic with Musetti winning the third 7-5. I really expect grass to suit Tiafoe here. He has a toolbox of shots to win points on this surface, something Musetti lacks in his arsenal. But the Italian has served brilliantly in his two matches here, saving all 12 break points he has faced. But with all due respect to Gojo and Barrere, they are not on Tiafoe’s level. The American has a steady baseline game and like I said, he’ll tactically find ways to break Musetti’s serve and win the match.
