Our 2023 ATP Marrakech Open Predictions & Picks
Lorenzo Musetti is the top seed at the Marrakech Open, but the Italian one-hander has only won once in his past eight matches, losing his last five in a row. In that case, we can’t see him finding his footing very quickly and we’re skipping his name in the outright markets.
Two of the top eight seeds that should provide decent value are Tallon Griekspoor and Nicolas Jarry. Griekspoor enjoyed the bulk of his success on the Challenger Tour by winning many titles on the red clay. While Jarry recently captured his second ATP title on home turf in Santiago.
If you are going for the long shot, you might want to consider Jaume Munar and Juan Pablo Varillas. Both players are coming off quarterfinal runs at different Challenger tournaments – Munar in Girona and Varillas in San Remo.
