Roland Garros, after defeat Lorenzo Musetti crowns Novak Djokovic

Many believed it, at one point, when leading two sets to one, the feat è seemed possible, but Lorenzo Musetti once again succumbed in the distance against Novak Djokovic in the third round match at Roland Garros.

The match played on Court Philippe Chatrier è ended after three o’clock in the morning and the final verdict hurt, very hurt, not only Musetti but also Jannik Sinner, who still has to postpone his dream of becoming world number 1, all the more so since Djokovic’s next opponent will be the Argentine Cerundolo, who certainly does not have the weapons that Musetti had instead to put the Serb in difficulty.

But the defeat confirmed the great progress of the 22-year-old from Carrara, who can now seriously make an assault on the top ten in the world rankings. “È it was the most intense challenge of my life and he showed whyé è legend, the immortal champion of the sport. Since he breached me in the fourth things have changed, too bad becauseé the match had been going well and at one point I believed”.

“I felt I owned the court; then from that break è as if he took off the shackles and started playing at an incredible level. Tonight the best won, I have few regrets and my team è also very satisfied. Today è really only missed the win”, Musetti said, quotes reported by tennisworlditalia.com.
