All-Italian contest for a spot in the Round of 16.
It will be an all-Italian face-off in the 2025 US Open Round-3, when Lorenzo Musetti will battle Flavio Cobolli on Saturday. Musetti has not endured the best of seasons, but looks primed for a deep run in New York. At the same time, Cobolli is coming off a series of upsets, and has turned into the player to watch out for in this event. So who will prevail in this electric contest? Let’s find out, using the accurate betting odds provided by BetMGM.
Coming into the tournament, several predictions had an early exit for Lorenzo Musetti on the cards. After all, the Italian was coming off a disappointing Wimbledon run, and his North American swing hadn’t been anything noteworthy. As a result, expectations were relatively low from the World No. 10. However, Musetti seems to have turned a corner in the US Open – he has notched impressive wins against Mpetshi Perricard and Goffin. Having hit a purple patch during the clay court season, Musetti will be keen on having a successful end to his campaign.
On other hand, Flavio Cobolli has been the breakout Italian of this season. After a deep run at the Wimbledon Championships, Cobolli is showing signs of recreating it in New York. More importantly, the hard-courts in New York could turn into a great equalizer for Cobolli, as Musetti’s record here is not the best by any means. As the 23-year-old looks to dethrone his predecessor as the Italian No. 1, the US Open Round of 32 is set for some fireworks.
This will be the first time Lorenzo Musetti and Flavio Cobolli will face each other on the professional circuit.

Before Lorenzo Musetti’s rekindled run of momentum, Flavio Cobolli would have been an easy favorite for this match. However, the more experienced and accomplished Italian is playing with freedom. The serve and backhand have found the required rhythm to keep him alive in rallies. On the other hand, Cobolli likes to take matches deep and outhit opponents in baseline exchanges.
Prediction: Lorenzo Musetti in five sets.

A passionate sports fan since childhood, it was always my dream to cover the peak of human potential. Baseball, Tennis, and Football (or Soccer) have been closest to my heart. From Rafael Nadal’s never-say-die attitude to Roger Federer’s beautiful backhand, I’ve seen it all. Prior to the Playoffs, I’ve worked in EssentiallySports and Pro Football and Sports Network.

Perhaps that’s why I love indulging in some fun banter and always try to inculcate a debate through my work. That’s why I encourage the readers to express their views freely – after all, that’s what makes sports fun.
