Lorenzo Musetti reaches the semi-finals of the “Bank of China Tennis Open”, ATP 250 with a prize pool of 700,045 dollars, which is played on the hard courts of Hong Kong. The tennis player from Carrara, number 7 in the world ranking and first favorite on the draw, defeated home idol Coleman Wong, 150th in the ATP rankings, 6-4 6-4 in the quarterfinals, thus obtaining his 25th semi-final on the major circuit, the eleventh on hard court.
“I’m very happy, I had already played against Wong here, since then he has grown a lot. I knew I had to be very solid, I always remained focused, I didn’t give him much chance to get ahead in the score”, said Musetti in the hot interview. In the semi-final the Italian will face the Russian Andrey Rublev and will then be the protagonist of the doubles final with Lorenzo Sonego, thanks to the withdrawal in the semi-final of Diallo and Wong himself, the Azzurri’s designated rivals, who announced their retirement before taking to the court.
