Another left-hander
Second match in a row against a left-hander for Musetti, normally he's settled!
Musetti shut down Mannarino in a matchup that he seems to be dominating, but Tien is a bit more creative and able to change the pace than Mannarino. Is that enough to disrupt a Musetti who is in good form at the start of the Asian tour? I don't really know, the Italian seems in place and I find him more dangerous against aggressive players. Tien isn't really, however, he can adjust tactically and try a couple of things. He also knows how to slice or round off, tactically it could be a great battle. Musetti keeps the advantage with a well-established game and a certain confidence, he's the boss and he hasn't lost much in recent weeks, seeing him lose would be a nice surprise. After his statements and the controversy in the previous round, I think he's keen to perform well this week and "redeem" himself, but mentally he was a bit hurt and hadn't trained after his match against Mpetshi, he's possibly mentally impacted. I can't place a bet on it, but I have to mention it. In any case, I imagine it to be better than Tien, but not necessarily imperial in terms of score, which is what I want to look for as a bet.
