Who doesn’t love a good old one-handed backhand showdown? When Stefanos Tsitsipas meets Lorenzo Musetti in quarterfinals action at the Principality, worlds are set to collide. While the defending champion is in no mood to relinquish his crown in Monte Carlo, 13th seed Musetti is a clay court maestro himself. The winner will book a spot in the semifinal – where they will face either Grigor Dimitrov or Alex de Minaur.

Stefanos Tsitsipas comes into this match on the back of a huge announcement – the Greek god will be adding Novak Djokovic’s former coach Goran Ivanisevic to his setup after Roland Garros 2025. The World No. 8 enjoys a phenomenal record at the Principality – he has won three out of the last four titles at this event. Having won the Dubai Open championship earlier this year, Tstisipas will look to get his clay court swing off to a flying start.

Stefanos Tsitsipas will add Goran Ivanisevic to his coaching team after Roland Garros, according to Gazzetta.

One of the best coaches out there.

Very exciting news. 🇬🇷

On the other hand, Lorenzo Musetti defeated compatriot Matteo Berrettini (who eliminated top seed Zverev) in the Round of 16. The 23-year-old Italian is a bronze medalist from the 2024 Paris Olympics, which was also held on clay. Currently ranked No. 16 in the world, Top-10 will be playing on Musetti’s mind. His best performances this season have been quarterfinal finishes at Hong Kong and Argentina.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Lorenzo Musetti Monte Carlo Masters 2025 Prediction

When it comes to the red dirt, Tsitsipas and Musetti are two among the most feisty competitors going around. Tsitsipas dropped just two games in his previous match en route to the quarterfinal match-up, and looks to be getting better with every passing day. Although the Italian could pose some serious threat, expect the former Roland Garros finalist to fend off the challenge.

Prediction: Stefanos Tsitsipas in three sets.
