Lorenzo more mature?
Musetti is more experienced in the Grand Slams but Darderi skips the steps and plays without restraint!
Musetti advantage in this meeting in terms of experience, maturity and management of these long matches I would say. Lorenzo had already played well on grass last year and he did it again by adapting to the surface, he slices more than usual and takes more control of the game on the forehand when possible. Semi-final in Stuttgart, final in Queens, he showed that he could go far and beat a lot of people on grass. Darderi is discovering grass and more generally fast surfaces this season. Despite his lack of experience, he systematically responds by putting out solid matches. He surprises himself on grass but nothing surprising from my side, the guy is overpowering on the serve and on the forehand, he has obvious qualities for fast surfaces and when he continues the tournaments off clay he will realize that he is good everywhere. The trigger is not there yet at the moment, he is playing his matches but we feel that he is a little short against good players. It was enough against Choinski but I'm not sure it will work against Musetti.
