Jack Draper vs Lorenzo Musetti Head-to-Head Record, Preview, and Prediction for Madrid Open 2025 Semi-final

Draper and Musetti get ready for a first meeting on clay

Jack Draper hits back to Holger Rune during the men's championship final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., Sunday, March 16, 2025.

The second semi-final at the 2025 Madrid Open will see the 5th-seeded Jack Draper take on the 10th-seeded Lorenzo Musetti. Draper has put together a quality season thus far, recording wins against the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune at Indian Wells on his way to the title, while Musetti also made it to the Monte-Carlo Final.

Draper, who started off the year ranked 15th in the world, has risen all the way to number 6 on the back of his strong performances this year. At Madrid, the Brit, who had a first-round bye, has had an easy outing thus far, having reached the semis without dropping a set.

His third-round clash against Matteo Berrettini was shaping up to be a good one, but the Italian was forced to retire after losing the first set tie-breaker. Otherwise, Draper had easy wins against Tallon Griekspoor in round 2, Tommy Paul in round 4, and Matteo Arnaldi in the quarterfinals.

Musetti, on the other hand, has also not dropped a set and has played some sublime tennis this week. He started the tournament with a comfortable win against Lorenzo Musetti in round 2, following a round 1 bye. He then faced Stefanos Tsitsipas in round 3, winning a tight match 7-5, 7-6(3) to move to the next round, where he defeated Alex de Minaur. In the quarters, he defeated the Canadian Gabriel Diallo.

It's an important win for Jack Draper! 🙌

He'll now move into the world’s top five for the first time in his career, ahead of Novak Djokovic in the rankings 📈 pic.twitter.com/69EsGXBji0
