Lorenzo Musetti is looking to snap a two-match losing streak at the ATP 500 event in Barcelona. The tournament is stacked with top ATP Tour talent.
Musetti’s Opportunity to Rebound Against Landaluce
Musetti has not won a match on tour since the Australian Open. He will have the opportunity to ease back into form this week against Martin Landaluce.
Landaluce is a rising star on tour. However, ranked just outside the Top 100, the occasion may be too big 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.
Musetti’s Injury Struggles
Various injuries have hindered Musetti’s season so far. It should be at least a close two-setter.
Other Barcelona ATP Matches
Arthur Fils will face some pressure after reaching the semifinals of this tournament in 2025. He also had to withdraw from the recent Monte Carlo Masters, making this match his first on clay courts this season.
Fils’ opponent, Atmane, has steadily improved his ranking to a career-high of No. 41 this week. Atmane has put together an 8-10 record in 2026. Fils is more likely to overpower his compatriot on a good day, but injury skepticism and rust could allow Atmane to sneak an upset in. Atmane’s craftiness also makes him a strong threat on these courts.
Prediction: Atmane in 3
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 and has the opportunity to clinch his third Top 20 win over Rublev.
Since falling in the Dubai semifinals, Rublev has only won one match on tour. He certainly has more aggression and pop on his groundstrokes, but an inconsistent day at the office could result in an upset. However, backing up a title could be a challenge for Navone. Rublev should ultimately fancy his chances against a counterpunching opponent.
Prediction: Rublev in 3
Musetti should have the opportunity to ease back into form this week.
