Italian extends his win streak to nine matches, faces Gaston Saturday. The 28-year-old Italian, who in March was floundering outside the Top 150 of the PIF ATP Rankings, advanced to his second ATP 250 final in as many weeks Friday when he defeated Yannick Hanfmann 6-4, 6-4 in the Generali Open semi-finals in Kitzbuhel.

In-form Italian Lorenzo Musetti will take on Francisco Cerundolo for the Umag title before both men rush to Paris to compete in the Olympics. It’s the No. 2 seed against the No. 4 seed as Lorenzo Musetti battles Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo in Saturday’s Croatio Open final. Musetti is ranked 17th in the world, but that’s a deceptive ranking. He is one of the most in-form players on the ATP tour right now. He has made the semifinals or better in his last 4 tournaments–including Wimbledon, where he lost in the semis to Novak Djokovic.

Umag final preview and prediction: Musetti vs. Cerundolo

This Friday at the ATP Croatia Open in Umag will feature the two semifinal matches. Considering the Olympics are about to start in a few days, Umag has a very impressive field of players remaining, led by a top 10 player and current Madrid champion in Andrey Rublev. It has been a very entertaining tournament so far and it should remain that way, with all four players having a very realistic chance of claiming this trophy.

At 61-42, Los Angeles leads the NL West despite nearly all their MLB starting rotation hitting the shelf at one point this season. However, on Wednesday, the Dodgers welcomed back ace Tyler Glasnow after a short IL stint, with the lengthy righty (who looks just like Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders) throwing five innings of one-run ball.
