Later, at the US Open, Musetti ripped off his jersey and roared with joy after saving two match points to win a marathon second-round match against Miomir Kecmanovic. As the overflow crowd on Court 5 dissipated, the No. 18 seed ran to celebrate with mom Sabrina and another participant dear to his heart, Ludovico.
“I’m really, really close to my family, to what we’ve created. When I get the chance to bring the whole family with me, I love doing it,” shares Musetti. “These (eight) months, they went really fast and I saw a lot of change in him.
“I could only think about the future, when he would start walking, when he would start talking, and when he would start understanding what I do for a living. »
While Musetti looks forward to seeing what happens next, there is still work to be completed before turning the page. Starting on Thursday, he hopes to help Italy successfully defend their Davis Cup title in Malaga when the Jannik Sinner-led team takes on Argentina. The biggest bet of this team competition is that Musetti's family will be with him every step of the way.
