High stakes Round of 32 encounter as Musetti eyes Turin.
Chants of ‘Viva Italia’ will take over the French capital on Wednesday, as Lorenzo Musetti and Lorenzo Sonego prepare to battle it out at the 2025 Paris Masters. The two powerhouse Italians will lock horns in the Round of 32, with the winner set to face Grigor Dimitrov or Daniil Medvedev in the pre-quarterfinal stage. Today, we will give you the preview and predictions for this match. Finally, BetMGM will take you through their best betting odds.
Both Musetti and Sonego have failed to pick up a title in 2025. The World No. 8 had a terrific campaign during the clay court swing – reaching the final in Monte Carlo and three consecutive semifinals in Madrid, Rome and Paris. Since then, he won just one match up until the US Open. Meanwhile, Sonego began on an impressive note with quarterfinal finishes at the Australian Open as well as the Open 13. He failed to make a noteworthy impact ever since.

In the recent tournaments, Musetti earned a runner-up trophy in Chengdu. The 23-year-old has won 83% service games this year, and saved 61% break points along the way. He is currently competing for a spot in the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. On the other hand, Sonego’s quarterfinal showing in Stockholm induced newfound energy and momentum to his below average season. Currently ranked No. 45 in the world, he has a win-loss record of 21-27 so far.
Incredibile Lorenzo 🤩🤩

Lorenzo Musetti leads the head-to-head against Lorenzo Sonego by 1-0. They faced each other at the 2024 Vienna Open.

In Round-1, Lorenzo Sonego hit the ground running with a dismissive performance against Sebastian Korda. Provided the 30-year-old maintains a similar level, he has what it takes to upset the No. 7 seed. Sonego has the ability to cause chaos and take time away from his opponents. Unless Musetti can vary the pace and spin to prevent getting suffocated on the Parisian courts, he could suffer an early exit.
Prediction: Lorenzo Sonego in three sets.
Musetti (1/3) leads underdog Sonego (9/4) in the pre-match betting market at the 2025 Paris Masters. According to the implied probability on the money line, the Olympic bronze medalist has a 70% chance of advancing to the next round.
