Lorenzo Musetti lands in the semifinals of the Internazionali d’Italia 2025. He beat Alexander Zverev in the quarters with a score of 7-6(1), 6-4. The Tuscan tennis player will now face Carlos Alcaraz, who had overcome Jack Draper in the morning.

against the world No. 2 and defending champion in Rome, Musetti played with courage and quality. He held his own against Zverev’s power, lit up at the right moments and handled delicate passes with coolness. The first set was a seesaw of breaks, nerves and short balls, decided by a tie-break dominated 7-1.

In the second, after a spectacular exchange ended by a pinpoint lob from the German, Musetti continued to vary his game and pace. He held out in the answering turnovers, took advantage of Zverev’s difficulties and struck at the right moment: decisive break at 5-4 and match closed with a slap volley.

A solid and mature performance, confirming the growth of the young Italian, fresh from entering the top ten. And at the Foro, with the audience on his side, he really seems to be able to play it all.
