On Saturday, August 3rd, we will find out who will win the bronze medal in the men's singles tournament at the 2024 Olympics. Canadian tennis player Félix Auger-Aliassime will face Italian Lorenzo Musetti. The Dailysports team of analysts has prepared predictions and bets for this match.
Félix Auger-Aliassime
The 23-year-old Canadian tennis player is ranked 19th in the world. However, this season has been quite mixed for Auger-Aliassime. At Roland Garros, he reached the round of 16, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz, and before that, he reached the final of the Madrid Masters but was defeated by Andrey Rublev. Auger-Aliassime had a disappointing Wimbledon, unexpectedly losing in the first round to Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis.
In the semifinals at the Olympics, Auger-Aliassime faced Carlos Alcaraz again at Roland Garros, and the Spaniard left no chance for the Canadian, winning 6-1, 6-1. Before this, Auger-Aliassime defeated Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev, Maximilian Marterer, and Marcos Giron.
Lorenzo Musetti
The 22-year-old Italian is ranked 16th in the ATP world rankings, a personal best for him. Musetti is having the best season of his career, reaching the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time at Wimbledon, where he lost in three sets to the legendary Novak Djokovic.
At the 2024 Olympics, Musetti started strong by eliminating local favorite Gaël Monfils. He then defeated Argentine Mariano Navone, and in the round of 16 and quarterfinals, he caused two upsets by beating Taylor Fritz and Tokyo 2020 champion Alexander Zverev. In the semifinals, Musetti faced Djokovic again and lost in straight sets.

Félix Auger-Aliassime vs Lorenzo Musetti prediction
I expect an interesting match with neither player dominating. However, Musetti has impressed more throughout the tournament than the Canadian. My bet is on the Italian's victory.
