4 Minute ReadLorenzo Musetti vs. Aleksandar Vukic Prediction: Can Musetti Continue Hot Start After Injury Return at ATP Washington?
Lorenzo Musetti meets Aleksandar Vukic in the Round of 16 at the ATP Washington tournament on Wednesday afternoon. The match will be available through Tennis Channel coverage, with Musetti listed as a -260 favorite and Vukic priced at +205.
Musetti entered Washington with some legitimate physical uncertainty after a rectus femoris injury kept him out of competition for more than two months. The Italian suffered the injury during the Rome Masters in May, then withdrew from both Roland Garros and Wimbledon while prioritizing a complete recovery. His opening performance quickly eased some of those concerns.

Lorenzo Musetti vs. Aleksandar Vukic Prediction
The fourth seed overwhelmed Matteo Arnaldi from the opening game, winning the first set 6-0 and moving ahead 3-1 in the second before Arnaldi retired with a physical issue. Musetti needed only 41 minutes to advance, but the most encouraging development was the immediate quality of his movement and timing. He controlled the baseline without showing visible limitations and produced the sharp, varied shot-making that carried him into the upper level of the ATP Tour before his injury.
Vukic has earned his position in this matchup through a much heavier workload. The Australian came through qualifying before beating lucky loser Zachary Svajda 6-3, 6-1 in his main-draw opener. Vukic struck 12 aces, committed no double faults and won 23 of 26 first-serve points, allowing him to complete a convincing victory without facing extended pressure. He also arrived after winning the Granby Challenger title, giving him significantly more recent match experience than Musetti.
That rhythm gives Vukic a path to remain competitive early, particularly if his first serve continues producing short points. However, Musetti presents a much more difficult returning and defensive challenge than Svajda. The Italian can absorb Vukic’s pace, change the height and spin of rallies and force the Australian to hit additional shots from uncomfortable positions. Vukic’s aggressive game becomes less reliable when opponents prevent him from controlling exchanges with his first two strikes.
Musetti’s shortened opener also limits concerns about fatigue during the early stage of his comeback. He received enough court time to test his leg and rebuild competitive rhythm without enduring a physically demanding match. Vukic has already played multiple matches in Washington after a full week in Granby, and that accumulated workload could become more significant if Musetti extends rallies and makes him defend across the full width of the court.

The -260 moneyline offers little value, but the straight-sets market reduces the price to a playable -110. Vukic is serving well and enters with confidence, yet Musetti looked immediately comfortable in his return and owns clear advantages in movement, variety and baseline consistency. Another controlled performance should allow the favorite to secure one break in each set and advance without requiring a decider.
