Paolo Canè is someone who knows so much about tennis and is never trivial in his remarks. He commented for Eurosport on the match between Lorenzo Musetti and Novak Djokovic suffering as all Italian fans do. And, from the height of his experience, at the moment when the Carrara player tried to hold on even though he was now physically knocked out, he gave his point of view on what was happening in the quarterfinal being played on the concrete in Melbourne.

In the semifinals Sinner will face Novak Djokovic, former world number one.

Djokovic has dominated in Melbourne for years, will be a very tough obstacle for the'azure.

“When you are not well, and I have been saying this for years, you try to stay on the court a game or two … but what good does it do if not to worsen the problem you are already experiencing?” wondered the Bolognese, according to whom the world number 5 should have thrown in the towel a few minutes earlier. “Come on Lorenzo, you were great,” he added as Musetti was returning to the locker room. You played great tennis, we are all waiting for you for the next tournaments, continue on this level”.

“I felt the first discomfort already in the second set. I asked for the medical time-out to try to get better but the pain kept getting worse. There are no words to describe what I am feeling right now. I couldn&#8217t bandage it because the discomfort was too high, more or less at the height of the psoas muscle. I am sure I have an injury”, the words of a sad Lorenzo Musetti, almost in disbelief at what happened to him on the field.

Visibly disappointed to have thrown away the chance to win the first semifinal of his career at the Australian Open, the Tuscan added: “You never imagine winning with two sets to spare against Djokovic and then having to retire. It is a very painful feeling” his comment. To raise the white flag when you are up 2-0, in the set count, against an absolute champion, winner of the Australian Open as many as 10 times, hurts terribly and is absolutely not easy to accept.

A real sigh of relief, however, for Djokovic, who showed great fair-play after the surprising denouement. “Lorenzo was the player who was doing better, I should have gone home myself” he admitted. Instead, he will be up against Jannik Sinner.
