Lorenzo Musetti is set to participate in the ATP 500 event in Barcelona. The No. 2 seed will be looking to end a two-match losing streak.
Musetti vs. Landaluce Preview
Musetti is up against Martin Landaluce. Landaluce is considered a rising star. However, he is ranked just outside the Top 100.
Musetti has not won a match since the Australian Open. The Italian should have the opportunity to ease back into form this week. The occasion may be too big for Landaluce against a Top 10 opponent.
Landaluce has already made a name for himself with his powerful forehand. Musetti will have to avoid being bullied in the rallies. Various injuries have also hindered Musetti’s season so far. It should be at least a close two-setter.
Other Barcelona Matches
Tuesday’s action at the ATP 500 event in Barcelona will wrap up the first round. The field is stacked with top ATP Tour talent. Top seed Carlos Alcaraz is also competing.
Arthur Fils is also competing. Fils is a dangerous threat on clay. He’ll face some pressure after reaching the semifinals of this tournament in 2025. The Frenchman also had to withdraw from the recent Monte Carlo Masters. This makes this match his first on clay courts this season.
Fils is playing against Atmane. Atmane has steadily improved his ranking to a career-high of No. 41 this week. He’s put together an 8-10 record in 2026. Fils is more likely to overpower his compatriot on a good day. Injury skepticism and rust could allow Atmane to sneak an upset in. Atmane’s craftiness also makes him a strong threat on these courts.
Andrey Rublev is also competing. Since falling in the Dubai semifinals, Rublev has only won one match on tour.
Rublev is playing against Navone. April has been a historic month for Navone. He won his first-ever ATP Tour title in Bucharest. After a thrilling three-set finale, the Argentine took the week off. He has the opportunity to clinch his third Top 20 win over Rublev. Rublev certainly has more aggression and pop on his groundstrokes. An inconsistent day at the office could result in an upset. Rublev should ultimately fancy his chances against a counterpunching opponent.
