Prediction and Conclusion

Lorenzo Musetti has been in the top 20 for a while now, and it is pretty unlucky that he lost all five finals he played this season. His best result of the year was winning the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, and on the way there he defeated Alexander Zverev.

Zverev is playing excellent in Vienna as usual, and that confidence and experience will get him past Musetti.
