Lorenzo Musetti vs Francisco Comesana Match Preview
According to rival Jannik Sinner’s coach, Lorenzo Musetti is rapidly improving on the hard and grass courts. The Italian is predominantly a clay court savant so far, and also won the Olympic bronze medal at Paris 2024. In the 2025 season, Musetti reached three semifinals and a final on the red dirt. Although he hasn’t been able to convert any of his noteworthy performances into a title run, the 23-year-old World No. 9 has notched an impressive 35-15 record so far. Coming into this event, Musetti has reached two quarterfinals (US Open & Beijing) and a final (Chengdu) in his last three competitions.
On the other hand, Francisco Comesana was a semifinalist at the Rio Open, and also completed two quarterfinal finishes in Bucharest and Gstaad. These results, paired with some reassuring outings on the ATP Challenger Tour, have given the Argentine a current ranking of No. 62 in the world. At the age of 24, Comesana is searching for his maiden career championship. The South American star is playing his first tour-level event since losing in the Round of 64 at the 2025 US Open. In Round-1 here in Shanghai, he defeated Blanchet 6-4 6-2.

Lorenzo Musetti vs Francisco Comesana ATP Shanghai Masters 2025 Prediction
When it comes to hard court statistics this year, Musetti holds a strong edge over Comesana. The Argentine has been able to land a mere 58% first serves, and fails to gain the necessary impetus to control the pace of the game. Musetti can alter his net clearance to great effect, and has a vicious backhand slice that draws a short return from his opponents. The Italian’s experience is likely to prevail in this Round of 64 encounter.
Prediction: Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets.
