Prediction and Conclusion

Jordan Thompson and Lorenzo Musetti have dropped significantly in the ATP rankings in the last year or two and are looking to make a leap. Thompson is having a solid tournament after a while since he faced early eliminations in the past couple of months. Musetti has reached the semifinals for the second consecutive week. He has been playing well on grass and has already defeated Thompson very easily at the beginning of the season. The Australian is much better on grass, but still, that will not be enough to beat Musetti, so we go with the Italian to reach his third final this season.
