Lorenzo Musetti hasn’t been in good touch lately and has been losing all the recent tournaments he has played in. He will be adamant to make a change in fortune and perform well at the ongoing Barcelona Open. He couldn’t make it past the second stage mark in any of his last tournaments, losing to Lloyd Harris at the Australian Open in what was a Five-set thriller, and also lost to Ramos-Vinolas at the Swiss Indoors. At the Paris Masters, he made it to the quarter-finals, losing to Djokovic after beating the likes of Ruud, Basilashvili, and Cilic on the way. At the Tennis Napoli Cup, his luck finally favored him as he went all the way to clinch the title beating second-seeded Berrettini in the final. In the ongoing Barcelona Open, he beat Kubler in the first-round matchup by 3-6, 1-6, and in the round-of-16 matchup, he beat Norrie by 6-3, 4-6, 1-6. In the quarter-finals, he received a walkover against Sinner.
Stefanos Tsitsipas hasn’t looked at his best so far and the start of 2023 has been woeful for him as he looks for a change of fortune at the ongoing Barcelona Open.

At the Miami Open, he also made it to the round of 16 stage losing to Khachanov, and at the Monte Carlo Masters, he had to settle for a quarter-finals finish as he was knocked out by Fritz. At the ATP World Tour Finals, he could only achieve a single victory thereby failing to move onto the semis.
