Indian Wells, big missed opportunity for Lorenzo Musetti
Fought and very long match: two hours and 33 minutes of play
Very unfortunate. Lorenzo Musetti è was eliminated by Arthur Fils. The Azure's adventure in Indian Wells stops in the round of 16 with much to recriminate about. The Frenchman won but the Italian threw away a great opportunity, even wasting a match point.
In the first set, Musetti's dominance è evident. Fluid play and a lot of determination. Thus came a comfortable 6-3. Second partial much moreù fought. However, Musetti gave himself a match point, cancelled by the Frenchman, who è then imposed himself in the tie-break 7-4. In the third set, the blue è appeared less confident. He suffered the break in the eighth game and did not get up again: 6-3 for Arthur Fils and the match ended.
After two hours and 33 minutes of play, Lorenzo Musetti left the court decidedly upset at having thrown away a great chance. The part of the men’s draw in which he found himself was decidedly favorable.
In the other matches, noteworthy is the coup de grâce of Japanese Yosuke Watanuki who è imposed himself on Frances Tiafoe, head dis erie number 16 on the scoreboard, in two sets (6-4, 7-6). Matteo Arnaldi is on the court today. The last Italian still in the running in California will face Brandon Nakashima, the number 32 seed.
