Lorenzo Sonego beats Lorenzo Musetti in comeback and goes into the round of 16 in Paris

Lorenzo Sonego, world number 45, beat Lorenzo Musetti, number 8, in a comeback with a score of 3-6 6-3 6-1 in one hour and 55 minutes of play, qualifying for the round of 16 of the last Masters 1000 of the year, the one on the indoor concrete at the Defense Arena in Paris.

The first set was decided by a break in the fourth game in favor of Musetti, who at 1-1 had saved a break point, and then instead it was he who snatched service from the Turinese at the second consecutive opportunity.

Same trend in the second set but on opposite sides: Sonego nullifies two break points at 3-3 and then in the next game he takes away Musetti’s serve and then holds his serve and extends the match to the third set.

Sonego doesn’t stop and breaks already in the first game of the third set then flying to 2-0. But Musetti literally collapses so much that of the last ten games of the match Sonego wins nine. In the round of 16 Sonego will face Russian Daniil Medvedev.
