Lorenzo Musetti will meet Jaume Munar in the Second Round of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships. The match will be played on Thursday July 6th, 2023.
Lorenzo Musetti is the 14th seed here at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships and is ranked 16th on the ATP Tour. The young Italian sensation is better known for his exploits on the other two surfaces, but he has shown some impressive flashes during this grass court season. He defeat Juan Manuel Varillas 6-3, 6-1, 7-5 in a dominant performance where he was never really tested, winning over 80% of his first serve points. He did strike 5 double faults however, a high number for a straight-sets win and will have to rein that in if he is to win his next match where he is heavily favored over Jaume Munar.
Jaume Munar is unseeded here at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships and is ranked 109th in the world. The Spaniard has been having a very disappointing season, sitting at a 10-14 record and grass is by far his least favored surface. He notched only his second ever Wimbledon win by upsetting John Isner, a shocker of a match that no-one would have expected him to win. He played disciplined tennis and withstood the barrage of aces that his opponent hit. Like his next opponent Lorenzo Musetti, he struggled with his second serve, committing a whipping nine double faults and as the big underdog in this match, will have to do better.
This should be a comfortable win for Lorenzo Musetti, who has shown us that he is more than capable on the grass. Jaume Munar is a solid player, but lacks the grass court pedigree and a major weapon, two factors that will work against him here. Expect the Italian to dominate from start to finish, moving on to the Third Round here at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships.
