Lorenzo Musetti vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry preview
10th-seeded Lorenzo Musetti will face Argentina's Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the second round of the 2025 Madrid Masters on Saturday (April 26).
Trending
After a rather slow start to the year, Musetti has put together arguably his best season on the ATP Tour yet. The Italian reached his maiden Masters-level final in Monte Carlo a few weeks ago, where he was denied by Carlos Alcaraz in three sets.
Having received a first-round Bye in Madrid, the 23-year-old will be eager to go past the third round of the 1000-level event for the first time in his career. Etcheverry, meanwhile, achieved his career-high ATP ranking of 27 last year but has slowed down considerably since.
The Argentine had dropped 12 of his 20 matches this season before arriving at the Madrid Open this week. However, he showed impressive grit to reach the second round of the tournament on Thursday (April 24), beating the promising Hamad Medjedovic 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-4 in three hours and 17 minutes.

Lorenzo Musetti vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry prediction
Musetti showed immaculate shotmaking during his run to the Monte-Carlo Masters final earlier this month. The World No. 11 has been hitting the spots on his loopy topspin forehand. He is also quite adept at hitting passing shot winners past his helpless opponents at the net from either wing.
For what it's worth, Etcheverry hits the ball harder than his higher-ranked opponent. At 6'5, the 25-year-old can also serve big, albeit with frustrating inconsistency. The Argentine will have to exploit Musetti's single-handed backhand with his inside-out forehand to stand a chance of winning their second-round clash at Caja Magica.
The 11th seed, however, is well-rested, as he withdrew from his Barcelona campaign after going deep in the Principality. In that regard, he is the favorite to take this interesting match-up, which is likely to go to three sets.
Pick: Musetti to win in three sets.
