This article features #4 seed Lorenzo Musetti facing off against Hubert Hurkacz in an intriguing match. As always, we at LWOT will offer predictions for every match on the slate, but who will advance?<\/p>\n<p>ATP Madrid Day 3 Predictions<br \/>\nGabriel Diallo vs Elmer Moller<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-Head: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel Diallo reached his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal here last year, playing some great tennis and announcing himself to the tennis world. However, he has been a shade of himself so far this season and is struggling to win matches. He must believe that this place will bring back his confidence and help him win some matches. He has a winnable match against Elmer Moller, who did well to reach this stage through qualifying, but Diallo is a much better player than his previous opponents.<br \/>Prediction: Diallo in 3<\/p>\n<p>Tomas Martin Etcheverry vs Sebastian Ofner<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-Head: Etcheverry 0-1 Ofner<\/p>\n<p>Tomas Martin Etcheverry arrives in Madrid for the first time as a seeded player and will look to advance to the third round for the first time. He has played some good tennis so far this European clay season and has the game to win multiple matches here. Sebastian Ofner has not had much success at this level on clay, and defeating an in-form clay courter would be difficult. I am going with the Argentine.<br \/>Prediction: Etcheverry in 3<\/p>\n<p>Arthur Fils vs Ignacio Buse<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-Head: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Arthur Fils has been super impressive and consistent since returning from injury, and it paid off for him last week as he won the Barcelona Open. He will look to keep building on it and make a deep run in Madrid. Ignacio Buse has defeated some brilliant players on clay this season. However, Fils is on another level right now and should get the win even if he loses a set.<br \/>Prediction: Fils in 2<\/p>\n<p>Lorenzo Musetti vs Hubert Hurkacz<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-Head: Musetti 2-2 Hurkacz<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2026\/04\/05\/lorenzo-musetti-third-best-on-clay-and-closer-than-you-think\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">#4 seed Lorenzo Musetti<\/a> is defending semifinal points here, and an early loss would put him outside the Top 10 in rankings. It has been tough for the Italian to find his best tennis since returning from injury, but he showed signs of improvement last week in Barcelona. Hubert Hurkacz will like his chances to beat Musetti here. The altitude makes his serve super dangerous, and he won his first round match convincingly. However, if Musetti plays at his best, he will make plenty of returns, which will trouble Hurkacz.<br \/>Prediction: Musetti in 3<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Susan Mullane-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The second round matches will start on Day 3 of the ATP Mutua Madrid Open, and fans will&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":602976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[107726,210414,260866,223940,223941,39433,189610,29251,199736,70795,215052,23604,134368,260867,255348,255349,99,428,9985,9986,125628,125629],"class_list":{"0":"post-602975","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-arthur-fils","9":"tag-arthur-fils-predictions","10":"tag-atp-madrid-predictions","11":"tag-elmer-moller","12":"tag-elmer-moller-predictions","13":"tag-gabriel-diallo","14":"tag-gabriel-diallo-predictions","15":"tag-hubert-hurkacz","16":"tag-hubert-hurkacz-predictions","17":"tag-ignacio-buse","18":"tag-ignacio-buse-predictions","19":"tag-lorenzo-musetti","20":"tag-lorenzo-musetti-predictions","21":"tag-mutua-madrid-open-predictions","22":"tag-sebastian-ofner","23":"tag-sebastian-ofner-predictions","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-tennis","26":"tag-tennis-picks","27":"tag-tennis-predictions","28":"tag-tomas-martin-etcheverry","29":"tag-tomas-martin-etcheverry-predictions"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
