Lorenzo Musetti v Federico Coria Head to Head
Musetti and Coria have never been involved in a career, head-to-head meeting till date. However, both are accomplished players across surfaces and should make their first ever clash worth a watch.

Musetti Failed to Qualify for Cincinnati Masters
Still just 19 and already close to breaking into the Top-50 in singles, Musetti failed to clear the qualifiers to reach the main draw at the Cincinnati Masters.
The Italian ran into veteran South African Kevin Anderson in the qualifying clash and lost in straight sets. Anderson took the opening set at a canter and beat the youngster by the exact same margin as he did in the first to come away with a facile win.
He came into the qualifiers on the back of opening-round exits at the Swedish Open and the Wimbledon Championships, hoping to break into the main draw.
Seen as the next big hope in Italian and world tennis alongside the likes of Lorenzo Sonego, Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini, Musetti did give more than a glimpse of his potential at the Roland-Garros where he reached the fourth round.
However, more than the fourth-round finish, what got the tennis world gaga over him was the way he took two sets off World No.1 Novak Djokovic in the fourth-round clash before suffering cramps and eventually conceding the tie.
However, the Serbian was well in sight of winning the match in five sets when the Italian pulled out.
The Italian has a chance make amends for his failure to clear the qualifying rounds at the Cincinnati Masters, but faces a tough opener against seasoned and battle-hardened Argentine Federico Coria.
Going into the event on the back of runner-up finish at his last event, the Argentine won’t be a pushover for Musetti in the opening round.

Coria Coming off a Swedish Open Final
Playing his first Tour event since the Swedish Open where he finished runner-up after losing to Casper Ruud of Norway, Coria will take the momentum from his sensational run at the tournament into his Winston-Salem opener against Musetti.
The Argentine upset the likes of Chilean Cristian Garin and Italian Marco Cecchinato on the way to setting up a championship showdown with Ruud.
However, Coria was easily overcome in the final as the Norwegian routed him in the straight sets to lift the title.
He played three Challenger events before the Swedish Open, winning one and finishing runner-up in the other two.
The run of results in the events prior will stand the Argentine in good stead as he opens his Winston-Salem campaign against Musetti.
Musetti v Coria Prediction and Tip
Though Musetti is ranked marginally higher in singles currently, Coria has more experience on the circuit. Also, the recent run of results will, perhaps, put the Argentine slightly ahead in the contest.
Tip: Musetti to win in three sets: 3/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
