Trending
Zverev fought past Jacob Fearnley 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (5) to book his place in the second round. After a tough opener, a routine 6-4, 6-4 win over Matteo Arnaldi put him in the quarterfinals. He was up against Tallon Griekspoor for a spot in the semifinals. However, the Dutchman withdrew from the tournament, and thus Zverev received a walkover into the next round.
Musetti beat Hamad Medjedovic and Tomas Martin Etcheverry in straight sets to make the last eight, where Corentin Moutet awaited him. The Italian dropped seven games in each of his previous two matches and maintained the same level of consistency once again, scoring a 6-3, 6-4 win over Moutet.

(Odds via BetMGM)
Alexander Zverev vs Lorenzo Musetti prediction
Zverev got a lucky break with Griekspoor's withdrawal, a player who had troubled him quite often this year. He also punched his ticket to the ATP Finals by reaching the semifinals in Vienna. His win over Arnaldi marked his 50th of the season as well.
Musetti has been quite solid this week, advancing to the semifinals without dropping a set. He improved his yearly record to 41-17 thanks to his win over Moutet. A win over Zverev will boost his odds of qualifying for the ATP Finals. Given his winning record against the German, he will fancy his chances this time. He has won three of his four matches against him, with his only loss coming after he retired due to an injury.
Zverev has a rather poor 2-7 record against top 10 players this season, with one of those wins coming via a mid-match retirement as well. He will need to raise his level considerably if he intends to reach his first hardcourt final since his runner-up finish at the Australian Open at the start of the season.
Musetti, on the other hand, has a respectable 5-6 record against top 10 opponents this year. Four of those losses have come against Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as well. Since the Italian has given a better account of himself against quality opponents compared to Zverev, he will be the favorite to win this contest.
Pick: Lorenzo Musetti to win in three sets.
