Final Prediction

Musetti's higher rank, superior Elo rating, and better recent form provide him with a clear advantage over Bonzi. Fatigue will also play a crucial role, as Musetti is entering the match with a fresh slate. Watch for Musetti's ability to capitalize on Bonzi's fatigue and potentially dominate the return game, which could be pivotal in this encounter.
