Musetti demonstrates a higher level of experience and success on the grander stage of the Masters series, combining a strong overall win rate with notable breakpoint conversion efficiency.

While Duckworth holds the sole victory in their past head-to-head match, the broader context of Musetti's superior performance under pressure and against tougher opponents suggests he may have the upper hand.

Considering Musetti's effective high-pressure play and Duckworth's lesser experience against top-ranked players, it's likely that Musetti will emerge as the winner of this upcoming match.
