A great result for the blue who is experiencing an incredible season on the red earth and is now preparing to face the winner of the quarter -final between Alcaraz and Paul.

“Success? Last year I became a dad.” And the public applauds him

“Success? Last year I became a dad », Lorenzo Musetti snatches a applause from the Philippe Chatrier audience in the interview after the victory with Tiafoe. “Change in the last 12 months? I believe that the growth process is a bit not only on the field, but even more off the pitch – explains the Italian – last year I became Pope. He made me more responsible and now I think I approach things in a more professional way. Even in my spare time I enjoy moments with my family. And, even if I’m not physically here at this moment, this victory is for them too ». During the interview, the beauty of its hand in the one hand is underlined: «Elegant? We are Italian, we are elegant », jokes Musetti who this time receives some whistle from the Parisian public. «Joking aside – he adds – I have this style that comes a little from the past. Unfortunately there are few players with the one -handed backhand. With everyone needing 200 kilometers per hour it is difficult to respond to one hand. But when they put the racket in my hand for me it was natural to answer one hand. This blow is part of my success ».
