Lorenzo Musetti happy and aware: the Carrara native reiterates his goal

Already certain to land in the Top 10 for the first time in his career thanks to his landing in the third round of the Madrid Masters 1000, Lorenzo Musetti took another step forward by also beating Stefanos Tsitsipas (by the way, for the second time in less than a month) to qualify for the round of 16 at the Spanish tournament. But ranking seems to be the last thing on the mind for the Carrara man.

“I&#8217ve already said it but I repeat it: I don–t want to look at the ranking,– Musetti told ‘Sky Sport‘ after the win against the Greek -. My goal is to win all the matches I face: confidence and continuity are there, now I&#8217m also more aware and experience counts in certain matches”.

The 2002-born tennis player, an Olympic bronze medalist in Paris 2024, then spoke about the difficulties related to the power outage that left all of mainland Spain (as well as Portugal and parts of southern France and Morocco) without power on Monday, adding a joke: “We are little without electricity, we walked a lot to get back to the hotel but maybe that helped me find my concentration for today, a good walk is always useful”.

Musetti is seeking his third career ATP title, his first at the Masters 1000 level: his only two tournaments won on the major circuit are the Hamburg ATP 500 and the Naples ATP 250, both in 2022. Four, on the other hand, are the finals he lost: Queen’s ATP 500 against Tommy Paul, Umag ATP 250 against Francisco Cerundolo and Chengdu ATP 250 against Shang Jungcheng in 2024, Masters 1000 Monte Carlo against Carlos Alcaraz just two weeks ago.
