Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (+2) for Berrettini – 1.44.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Over 22 – 1.58.
Berrettini left a bit of a mixed bag in the semi-final match against McDonald. Matteo had to have the help of a physiotherapist several times during the match because of the pressure on his leg, which visibly hampered him during long rallies. We believe that this could be a problem for Berrettini in the final, where he will be up against a fit Musetti.
The Italian final in Naples is unlikely to be short. Both Berrettini and Musetti will be at their best in the decisive match, so we expect the two players to exchange sets in this encounter.
Musetti made it all the way to the final in Naples. He did not lose a single set in the tournament.
At the start of the competition, he defeated Laslo Djere (7-5, 6-3) in two sets. Then, he broke Daniel Galan Riveros (6-3, 6-0). In the semi-finals, Lorenzo defeated Miomir Kecmanovic (6-3, 6-4). This will be the third final for Musetti this season. He won the previous two.
Musetti has won 10 of his last 11 matches played in Italy.
Berrettini faced worthy opposition from Mackenzie McDonald in the semi-finals in Naples. Matteo defeated Mackenzie in only three sets (3-6, 7-6, 6-3).
Matteo was convincing in his opening matches as he defeated Roberto Carbalhos Baena (6-4, 6-2) and Taro Daniel (6-2, 6-3) in two sets. Berrettini will play in his fourth final this season. He previously won at Stuttgart and London but lost in Bostad.
Berrettini has won his last eight consecutive matches against his compatriots.
In 3 of Berrettini’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.62.
