Victorious on his last eleven games, Musetti has been making a high -quality clay season for the moment.
Semi-finalist in Madrid, the 23-year-old tackles the last Masters 1000 BC with great confidence, but also by sporting the ranking of 9ᵉ world player, a historic place for Italian tennis.
Thanks to this ranking, Musetti has become the sixth Italian in history to sign this feat after Adriano Panatta, Corrado Barazzutti, Fabio Fognini, Matteo Berrettini and Jannik Sinner.
Thus, this Monday, the native of Carrara was honored from the highest distinction of Italian sport by receiving the gold medal of sporting merit. Present at the Sala Delle Fiaccole du Coni, in Rome, the Monte-Carlo finalist received this distinction from the hands of the president of the Italian National Olympic Committee Giovanni Malagò and the Secretary General Carlo Mornati.
This prize rewards him with his victory in the Davis 2024 Cup, won with his teammates Jannik Sinner, Matteo Berrettini, Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori.
