Lorenzo Musetti achieves yet another career-high in the live rankings after he defeated Michael Mmoh 6-4 6-4 in the first round of the Miami Open. Lorenzo Musetti will fight against Paire in the 2nd round. They have never played each other so far in top competitions.
Now the world no.94 (career-high), Lorenzo goes up 4 places in the live rankings to be the new world no.90. His live rank will not change if he beats Benoit Paire in his 2nd round. In theory, Lorenzo is projected to be ranked no.28 if he wins the event. However, there are still many matches to play not only for him but also for the other players.
Lorenzo owns an overall 17-7 win-loss record in 2021.
Musetti reached the final in the Antalya Challenger and in the Biella 2 Challenger. However, he hit the headlines loud and strong after he reached the semifinal in Acapulco last week starting his run from the qualifications.
Benoit Paire in 2021
Ranked no.33, Benoit played his last match on the 16th of March when he capitulated to Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3 6-1 in the 1st round in Acapulco (draw).
This season Benoit has an overall 1-7 match record.
