Another of Tuesday's interesting Italian Open matches, at least from a betting angle, is the one between Lorenzo Musetti and Casper Ruud. This is an all-top-25 clash, so we should see plenty of high-quality play. It's also a clash between two in-form clay-courters. With home support, Musetti should be feeling confident, especially after beting Francisco Cerundolo in straight sets, though this looks like a tougher task for the Italian.
Casper Ruud has made light work of reaching this stage, playing with serious determination. If the Norwegian comes out on top, it won't be the first time that he's beaten Lorenzo Musetti on clay, at it won't be the first time that he's beaten Musetti in Rome, having previously won in straight sets against the Italian at this event. He's worth betting on to repeat that trick here.

Our Lorenzo Musetti vs Casper Ruud Prediction
Lorenzo Musetti may currently be ranked above Casper Ruud, but on clay, you could absolutely argue that Ruud is the superior player. The way in which he brushed aside Jiri Lehecka last time out was impressive, and while Musetti is also in form, Ruud should have the mental edge here, having previously beaten the Italian not once, but twice on clay.
A price of -189 may seem short, but given what we know here, it's far from unfair to say that the Norwegian could be priced at shorter odds.
