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.

	It’s difficult to determine where the Olympics rank in the hierarchy of prestigious tennis tournaments. On the one hand, winning a gold medal is a high honor for any athlete. The games occur only quadrennially, as opposed to ATP Tour events and the Grand Slams, which are held every year.IOC Hotel Staff Strikes as Labor Pains Plague Paris Olympics




	On the other hand, tennis was only reintroduced as an Olympic sport in 1988, so it doesn’t have the historical status of Wimbledon, for instance. Furthermore, the best-of-three rather than a best-of-five set format makes it feel less weighty and leads to...
