Roland Garros, Tim Henman punishes Lorenzo Musetti

Tim Henman goes down flat with Lorenzo Musetti

Returning to the match between Lorenzo Musetti and Carlos Alcaraz, which saw the Murcian win qualification to the Roland Garros quarterfinals, Tim Henman was rather harsh on the Carrara-based athlete.

In fact, the former ATP Top 5 ranked player, speaking to Eurosport, remarked, “I don’t think Musetti really thought he could win the match. He didn’t seem to me to resist much in the longer exchanges, he was trying the ‘drop shot’ too early without a tactical solution to fit that shot. Alcaraz was definitely very good but I think Musetti is disappointed with his performance on such a prestigious stage.”

Musetti, in any case, equaled his best performance at the level of the round reached in a Slam tournament: in fact, he had also reached the round of 16 in 2021, also at Roland Garros.
