Lorenzo Musetti doesn’t think about Novak Djokovic

The words of Lorenzo Musetti

Lorenzo Musetti, after beating Miomir Kecmanovic, is looking forward to an Italian derby with Luca Nardi in Monte Carlo: “I remember a semifinal of the U14 Italians in Bologna, it’s nice to go from that match, which at that time was the highest importance for us, to a stage like this. For him this is one of the best results done so far, I am happy to meet a friend.”

Whoever wins will face Novak Djokovic: “I don’t want to think about it. Right now I’m taking even one match at a time, one shot at a time, because I have to pay attention to the details. To get out of the downward spiral it takes this, I’m not looking at anything but the present. I know that by doing this I will get out of it, as in the past. In my experience it is not good for me to see who I am going to play against. I have to focus on myself and against Nardi it will be a tough game because he is a very good player and he is in good shape. The focus now is all on him. I have talked a lot with the team and my family about this difficult time. It is complex to come to terms with it and define a simple, straightforward answer to explain to others what is going on. You have to be patient and suffer. Marrakech helped me in this sense: I lost a match that I had to win against Muller, but that match gave me even more awareness of what I have to do. Morale is picking up.”
