Musetti Has Proved His Adaptability
Although he may have been brought up on clay courts, and has twice reached the fourth round of the French Open, Musetti has learned to adapt his game to other surfaces.
He won the Napoli Cup last year, a month after reaching the third round of the US Open.
And he also reached the third round of Wimbledon this year.
The fact remains that he has achieved some of his best results in 2023 on clay, beating Novak Djokovic in Monte Carlo and going on to reach his first Masters quarter-final there.
Musetti has been in reasonable form of late, reaching the third round in Toronto, and the second in Cincinnati.
If the chips fall his way, he could go reasonably deep into this tournament.

Grand Slam Debut for Droguet
Droguet is primarily known for his exploits on the World Tennis circuit, although, stepping up to the Challenger tour, he appeared in two finals recently, both on clay. He lost both of them.
It was only in May that he even made his debut in qualifying for a Grand Slam, at the French Open, but he failed to clear the first hurdle on that occasion.
However, this time he has managed it by beating three better known opponents in the qualifying competition.
First he caused a major upset by defeating the world number 90, and the second seed, Cristian Garin, in straight sets.
Then he beat the experienced American Tennys Sandgren in three, before rounding things off with another three set win, this time over the Belgian Kimmer Coppejans.
Musetti v Droguet Prediction and Tip
Just being in the main draw is an achievement in itself for Droguet.
Musetti, however, will have loftier ambitions and will be keen to dispose of the challenge of the qualifier without undue fuss.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Musetti to win: 2/17 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Under 34.5 games in the match: 8/11 (with bet365)
