Lorenzo Musetti more aware of his own strength

Here are Lorenzo Musetti’s words after his convincing victory over Colombia’s Daniel Elahi Galan in the second round of the men’s singles at Roland Garros.

“It depends so much from match to match, but awareness has been the key word this month, going into the court knowing that I can beat anyone, before I lacked – Musetti said in the post-match conference, quotes reported by ubitennis.com -. Then maybe I was still winning however now it is a different feeling. The unpredictability of my game is an integral part, already mine, what I have acquired in this span of time is consistency, being more orderly, which gives me serenity on a mental level. It’s all the result of a click that was there but also a good daily work that I’m doing.”

“I put in a solid performance from start to finish despite having some ups and downs in the first and third. They were not easy conditions to play on, but I found a way to show my tennis and my game. If I had to find a click for my confidence I would say after the Monte Carlo final, from there something clicked inside that I had, I recovered there a set in every match, and many times I was close to losing. I felt like another player in the daily routine, and even in Rome and Madrid I felt this step forward.”

“The speech is not only physical, about winning in three sets. It’s also good for me on the level of confidence and the state of form I’m showing, adding the physical part as well, stress, so many things affect the match stretching. I don’t like to self-judge however an 8 I give myself and in the second set I had very high level of continuity in all points. However, in the first and third I dropped the intensity a little bit.” Finally a line on soccer. “Juventus? It is experiencing a difficult situation. On Saturday I will be rooting for Inter, an Italian team, they played well against Barcelona. I will try to watch it.”
