Thomas Etcheverry as Lorenzo Musetti. Prediction for the ATP Madrid match

Etcheverry and Musetti will meet in the second round of the Masters in Madrid on April 26. Etcheverry has noticeably improved recently and is no longer so much dependent on the type of coating, although the soil, of course, remains its element. In the first round of Madrid, the Argentine had a great match against Medjedovic, in which his serve and forehand worked perfectly. Will Thomas be able to play well in the upcoming match against Muzetti? - the bets for this meeting are in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Tomas Etcheverry

Current form
Etcheverry was stronger than Hamad Medjedovic in the first round of the competition in Madrid - 6-4, 6-7, 6-4. Thomas made ten aces, made four break points and lost two games on his serve in a duel against the Serb. It was the fifth clay court victory for the Argentine this season, with six losses.
Professional qualities
Etcheverry is a classic representative of the South American school of clay tennis, who is gradually learning to feel more confident on the hard court. His tall stature helps him serve well, which is especially important on fast surfaces. Thomas has a solid forehand, but on fast courts he sometimes does not have enough time to prepare a shot, which is why the pace of the game suffers.
Current indicators in the tour
Etcheverry won his last title in 2022 at the Concepcion Challenger. It was the 25-year-old Argentine's eighth title of his career. Thomas is currently ranked 51st in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Etcheverry left the Madrid Masters last season after the second round.

Lorenzo Musetti

Current form
Muzetti has scored six wins and two losses on clay this season. Lorenzo played his last tournament at the Monte Carlo Masters, where he managed to reach the final, losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the deciding match.
Professional qualities
Musetti is an all-rounder with an emphasis on working from the back line. He likes to wait for the moment to attack, controlling the game with steady strikes. The forehand is his main weapon. The Italian's backhand is reliable and helps to maintain a high tempo. Lorenzo's favorite surface is still the ground on which he reached the final in Barcelona last week.
Current indicators in the tour
Muzetti is the 11th racket of the world at the moment. During his career, the 23-year-old Italian has won two ATP titles. He completed them in 2022, winning competitions in Hamburg and Naples.
Interesting facts for betting
Muzetti has won 7 of the last 10 matches.

1.55Tip and bets
Etcheverry is progressing and is no longer so dependent on coverage. Although, of course, Thomas looks most productive on the ground. In the first round, Thomas played a great match against Medjedovic - his serve and forehand worked well. If he plays the same way, he will cause Musetti a lot of problems.
Our prediction is that Etcheverry will win with a handicap of (+3) games for a coefficient of 1.96
Bet on the total
Considering that Muzetti played the tournament in Barcelona last week, it can be assumed that he is unlikely to be one hundred percent ready for the upcoming match. We believe that a protracted struggle awaits us in this meeting.
The second betting tip is a total of more than 22 games for a coefficient of 1.85
