Command Analysis

Lorenzo Musetti

Current form
Musetti beat Alexander Zverev (2-6, 7-6, 6-4) in the quarterfinals of the competition in Vienna. Earlier in the tournament, Lorenzo got past Gael Monfils by refusal and won against Lorenzo Sonego. Indoors, the Italian has three wins in five matches this year.
Professional qualities
Musetti has attracted attention with his outstanding one-handed backhand, which has become his signature. However, this technique often turns into inconsistency. The Italian tennis player can play two matches at the highest level, but in the next he barely finds the court.
Current indicators in the tour
Musetti has played in five finals this season, but none of them ended successfully for him. He played his last final in September at the Chengdu tournament, where he lost to Chungchen Shan. The Italian is currently ranked 17th in the world.

Jack Draper

Current form
Draper broke the resistance of Tomas Machac (6-3, 3-6, 6-1) in the quarterfinal match of the competition in Vienna. Earlier in the tournament, Jack got past Luciano Darderi and Kei Nishikori. The Briton has three wins in three matches on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Draper always plays aggressively, relying on powerful shots. He is left-handed, which adds unpredictability to his attacks, especially against players with a less confident backhand, whom he successfully knocks out with powerful crosses. Jack main trump card is physical preparation: the Briton is tireless in movement, and it is difficult to break him in defense.
