Top seed Lorenzo Musetti will face Croatia’s Dino Prizmic in the second round of the Chengdu Open. The match is scheduled for Saturday, September 20. Here’s our Lorenzo Musetti vs Dino Prizmic prediction. This preview will also include a Lorenzo Musetti vs Dino Prizmic pick.

Lorenzo Musetti vs Dino Prizmic Preview

Lorenzo Musetti is the top seed at the Chengdu Open as he prepares to begin his Asia swing commitment. The Italian is the World No. 9 and the highest-ranked player in the draw. Musetti is competing in Chengdu for the third year in a row, and he’s had some solid results in this tournament. He was a semifinalist on his debut and reached the final last year, where he was beaten by home favorite Juncheng Shang.

Musetti has posted a 30-13 record this season, having reached one final, which was on clay in Monte Carlo. The 23-year-old is coming off a quarterfinal run at the US Open, where he lost to countryman Jannik Sinner in straight sets. Overall, Musetti is 11-8 on hard courts. Because he is the number one seed, Musetti received a bye in the first round.

Dino Prizmic won his opening match in Chengdu against Terence Atmane. The Croatian recorded an impressive straight-sets victory. The match took 19 games to decide and lasted an hour and 24 minutes. Prizmic was the only one to break serve in the first set, which he won 6-4 after getting an early break. And the youngster was terrific in the second set, where he broke Atmane twice in the final three games to round off a 6-4, 6-3 win.

Prizimc hit three aces to two double faults in the match. He landed 60% of first serves in play and won 84% of first serve points (27/32). Prizmic won 48% of second serve points (10/21) and did not face a break point in the match.

Lorenzo Musetti vs Dino Prizmic Prediction

Musetti is the better shotmaker, but Prizimic competes hard and is massively talented. It’s a shame that he’s battled so many injuries in his young career, and he hasn’t fully tapped into his ceiling. That said, I’m backing Prizmic to push Musetti, probably to three. The Italian is playing for the first time since the US Open, so he’ll likely give away many return games, especially with Prizmic coming off a spectacular serving performance in the first round.
