"I had no energy left in the third set," regrets Musetti after his defeat in Paris

Lorenzo Musetti exited the Paris Masters 1000 in the second round after a defeat against Lorenzo Sonego.

Musetti will go no further than the round of 16 in Paris. For his debut in the final Masters 1000 of the season, the world number 8 had started the match well against his compatriot Lorenzo Sonego.

Unfortunately for him, he couldn't maintain the pace and lost in three sets in less than two hours of play (3-6, 6-3, 6-1). A poor outcome in the race for the ATP Finals. The finalist of the Monte-Carlo Masters 1000 this season explained the reasons for his defeat in a press conference.

"I was very tired mentally. I had no energy left, especially in the third set. That's what made the difference in the end. At the beginning, I was controlling the game, then I found myself at the mercy of Lorenzo (Sonego).

The match clearly shifted on those aspects, and I couldn't come back. The end of the season has been very intense. Now we have to wait, try to accept what happened and move forward, turn the page.

I congratulate him, he played the second and third sets very well, but I obviously deeply regret this missed opportunity. Unfortunately, it's too late now to do anything and change the outcome," he stated to Tennis World Italia.
