Seventh-seeded Lorenzo Musetti will face a fellow countryman, Lorenzo Sonego, in a second-round clash at the 2025 Paris Masters. Coming into the Paris Masters, Musetti had a quarterfinal run at the European Open, where he lost to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, and a semifinal run at Vienna, where he lost to Alexander Zverev. In Paris, the Italian got a bye in the first round due to his seeding.
Coming into Paris, Sonego had a quarterfinal run in Stockholm, where he lost to Ugo Humbert after a tense three-set battle. He followed that up with an opening-round exit in Basel, falling short against eventual runner-up Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. At the Paris Masters, the Italian began his campaign with a routine 6-2, 6-3 win over Sebastian Korda in the first round.

Musetti does not have a great record at the Paris Masters, holding a 5-5 win-loss record in four previous appearances, with his best result being a quarterfinal run in 2022. This is only the second time Sonego has advanced past the first round at the Paris Masters since 2020, when he won his opening match against Alexander Bublik but then lost to Alex de Minaur in the next round.
Sonego has to perform well on return to have a chance against Musetti, as the latter will find openings in Sonego’s serve with his creative shot-making. Musetti also has the added motivation of qualifying for the ATP Finals and will be the favorite to win the upcoming match and make a deep run in Paris.
Pick: Musetti to win in straight sets
