Musetti Fails To Impress In Adelaide 1
Lorenzo Musetti was beaten in three sets by Taro Daniel at last week’s Adelaide International 1 – a player ranked over 50 below him in the rankings. It was a gloomy day in the office for the young Italian who is still struggling to rekindle the form that took him to the fourth round of the French Open.
Musetti did not manage to lay a glove on Daniel’s service games, as he failed to manufacture a single break point despite adding muscle weight to give his return a lift. He did pinch the second set in a tiebreak, but it would have been cruel had the Japanese man lost the match in the decider.
Now attention turns to Adelaide International 2 where Musetti’s task has gotten slightly harder. He opens up against one of the MVP of the ATP Challenger Tour last season in Benjamin Bonzi.
With a 5-14 record since leaving the Roland Garros premises last June, the one-handed Italian is a case in point of sometimes not looking too far ahead in the future.

Bonzi Begins Season With Defeat To Ymer
Even Benjamin Bonzi was not an exception when it came to an opening-round defeat at the Adelaide International 1 last week. Bonzi had a really tough time subduing an inspired opponent as he looked to refine his game in the early goings of this brand new season.
Bonzi lost a close tussle against Sweden’s Mikael Ymer 7-5 7-5, but did get suffient match practice in doubles where he made the quarterfinals alongside Hugo Nys.
The Frenchman did not have a great serving day as Ymer read his serve like a book. The Swede broke four times from seven attempts, with Bonzi landing just 61% of first serves – about 20% below Ymer’s.
Bonzi will look to address that poor afternoon against the World No. 94. The 25-year-old Frenchman won six ATP Challenger titles last season with four of them coming on hard courts. His defeat last week has nothing to do with confidence but just a little rust.
Musetti v Bonzi Prediction and Tip
Musetti’s drop in form is slightly worrying. His shot selection and his general court awareness is extremely poor right now. And it all stems from that run of 13 defeats from 18 matches in the second half of last season. He could take a leaf out of Bonzi’s playbook and drop to the Challenger Tour to re-establish himself. On paper, the Frenchman looks well placed to advance.
Tip: Bonzi to win: 8/11 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
