Zheng M. vs Musetti L. Prediction by Liza Hysong

Zheng M. has shown resilience recently, winning three of his last five matches, all in three sets. His victories over Marozsan F., Svajda T., and Echargui M. highlight his ability to grind out wins, though he lost to Kecmanović M. in a tight three-setter. His serving has been solid, with aces ranging from 2 to 11, and he has converted break points well, especially against Echargui (6/??). However, his double faults have been a concern, reaching 6 in some matches. His first-serve percentage has been around 54-61%, and he has won a high percentage of points on his first serve, often above 70%. His return game is also effective, as seen in his win over Humbert, where he broke serve twice.

Musetti L. has had a mixed run, winning three of his last five matches. He convincingly beat Altmaier D. and Mejía N. in straight sets, but suffered a straight-sets loss to Jodar R. and a three-set loss to the same opponent. His serving has been inconsistent, with aces ranging from 0 to 8, and double faults up to 5. His first-serve percentage has varied from 46% to 69%, but when he lands his first serve, he wins a high percentage of points (often above 70%). His return game has been solid, as he broke serve multiple times in his wins. However, his performance against Jodar in their second meeting was poor, losing in straight sets with a low first-serve percentage.
