Lorenzo Musetti vs. Chun Hsin Tseng Prediction: Musetti Starts Solid Favorite

On Tuesday, November 8, world number 23 Lorenzo Musetti will face 90th-ranked Chun-Hsin Tseng in the round robin stage of the 2022 ATP Next Gen Finals.

Musetti begins this tournament rated 23rd in the world, having previously been placed 83rd on the rankings this season, thanks to two title wins in the year 2022.

Musetti's first tournament triumph at the highest level came in July, when he stunned Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the ATP Hamburg.

Following that, he defeated Matteo Berrettini in the final of the Napoli Open, claiming his second ATP championship. Musetti was a surprise quarterfinalist in the Paris Masters last week, which brings him into this competition.

This was his finest performance in the Masters 1000 competition, propelling him to his current career-high position.

Musetti begins as a tournament favorite and should have no trouble in his first round.

While Tseng has had a memorable season, rising from 190th to a career-high 83rd in the ATP Rankings, he isn't in the shape he would have preferred heading into this opening encounter here.

Tseng hasn't won anything since reaching the second round of the Winston-Salem Open in August.

Tseng has only won two of his previous ten matches, including four consecutive losses in the last four.

His previous great performances were on the Challenger circuit, but now that he's up against Musetti, things might not be that simple until his opponent gets overconfident.

This appears to be a foregone conclusion in Musetti's favor, with the only uncertainty being whether he can win in straight sets. We believe this is quite likely.
