After Jannik Sinner’s winning debut came Lorenzo Musetti’s negative debut in the ‘Rolex Paris Masters’, the last ATP 1000 tournament of the season, taking place on the indoor hard court of ‘La Defense Arena’ in the French capital.
The Tuscan tennis player, number 8 in the world and seventh in the draw, after the bye of the first round, lost the Italian derby of the round of 32 against the Piedmontese Lorenzo Sonego, number 45 in the international ranking. Musetti, who at this point sees the path to the ATP Finals in Turin becoming complicated, surrendered against his compatriot and friend with a score of 3-6 6-3 6-1.
In the round of 16 Sonego will challenge the Russian Daniil Medvedev, world number 13 and eleventh seeding favourite, who today “benefited” from the withdrawal of the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov. Other results. Round of 32: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (Esp, 15) b. Arthur Cazaux (Fra) 7-6 (5) 6-4.
