Lorenzo Musetti vs Jack Draper: Friday’s semifinal at the Mutua Madrid Open will be a high-stakes rematch as Italian shotmaker Lorenzo Musetti faces Britain’s big-hitting Jack Draper. While Musetti is chasing a maiden Masters 1000 final, Draper has dominated this rivalry — and aims to keep his perfect record intact with a fourth straight win over the Italian.
Head-to-Head: Draper Leads 3–0

Current Form: Both Catching Fire in Madrid
Draper, has pieced together an impressive run on clay, knocking out Tallon Griekspoor, Matteo Berrettini (via retirement), Tommy Paul, and Matteo Arnaldi with some of his finest baseline work of the year.
Musetti, meanwhile, has looked like a title contender. He’s beaten Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alex De Minaur, and Gabriel Diallo — all in straight sets — showcasing improved movement and elite court coverage on the slower surface.
Surface Edge: Clay is the Wild Card
This is uncharted territory in their rivalry. Musetti’s one-handed backhand and variety make him a natural fit for clay. Draper, traditionally stronger on hard courts, has proven he can adapt — his 5–1 record on clay this year speaks volumes. With Madrid’s altitude aiding his serve, Draper’s weapons still pack a punch here.
Lorenzo Musetti vs Jack Draper Prediction
Draper owns the head-to-head, but Musetti is playing his best tennis of 2025. This one could come down to which player handles the clay better in key moments. If Draper can keep points short and attack early, he holds the edge. But if Musetti turns it into a grindfest, he can flip the script.
Prediction: Draper in three sets
