Finalist in Masters 1000 for the first time in Monte-Carlo in recent weeks, Lorenzo Musetti has confirmed by reaching the semi-finals in Madrid, where he was dominated by Jack Draper. Having become the 6th Italian player of the Open era to make his debut in the top 10 in the ATP ranking, the 9th world player is present in Rome.
In front of the media during the traditional avant-turn press conference, Musetti, who will face Hamad MedoDovic or a qualified for his entry into the running, returned to his ambitions in the coming months as well as his progress noted in the game.
“I am currently playing my best tennis and I am in Rome to confirm this good period. My mentality must be to have the goal of winning on any surface, it would be stupid to think the opposite.
-I made a leap forward in terms of continuity, especially in my results, because I have always had ups but also stockings. Since last year, the results have been more regular and I have reached my best ranking.
It’s my fifth year on the professional circuit, I am a young player who is no longer really one. There are many Italians already installed and others who have the level to break into the circuit and stay there durably.
I live this moment with great joy and pride. Being an example and being admired by so many children who pursue the dream of becoming champions gives me great pleasure, ”said Musetti, 23, according to remarks collected by Tennis World Italia.
