Lorenzo Musetti enchants the audience of the Foro Italico of Rome. The Carrarrino tennis player makes you dream with his sparkling tennis, BZverev also runs in the quarterfinals (7-6, 6-4) and flies to the semifinal where he will challenge Alcaraz.

The blue, number 9 of the world, goes under a break in the first set but then finds his game and disputes a sumptuous tie-break won 7-1. In the second set Musetti maintains the nerves and delight the audience with extraordinary strokes and brings the match home.

For Musetti it is the first semifinal in Rome and in general it was since 2021 that a blue did not enter the best four of the tournament: the last one was Lorenzo Sonego.

The grit of muzzles: “I fought to the end”

“Until the end, I fought to the end. In the game from 40 to 0 I succeeded – Musetti said to the microphones of Raidue – to reassemble and played a very solid tie -break. Then I closed in beauty with a super performance. Now with Carlos after the Montecarlo final, that game was a lesson because I take it as a player for me a reference point. Better”.
