**Madrid, Spain –** The third round of the Mutua Madrid Open continues Monday with several high-stakes matchups. Top seeds Jack Draper and Stefanos Tsitsipas are heavily favored in their respective encounters, but predictions suggest potential upsets.

Sixth-ranked Jack Draper faces Matteo Berrettini, holding a 2-0 head-to-head advantage. While Draper’s recent form is strong, the clay court conditions are expected to favor Berrettini’s powerful serve and groundstrokes, potentially leading to an upset victory for the Italian.

Meanwhile, 18th-ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas, despite recovering from a back injury, is predicted to defeat Lorenzo Musetti. While Musetti is playing well, Tsitsipas’s superior head-to-head record and the expected home crowd support point to a Tsitsipas win. However, Musetti’s recent strong performances and the possibility of Tsitsipas’s injury lingering might offer a surprising challenge.

The matches promise exciting tennis, with the potential for upsets adding to the anticipation of the tournament’s next stage. The winners will advance to the last 16 of the prestigious Madrid Masters.
