Barazzutti optimistic about Musetti: "The top 10 is within his grasp".

Lorenzo Musetti has had a fine season on the ATP circuit. The Italian broke into the top 20 and made his mark this year.

With a bronze medal from the Paris Olympics, the 22-year-old also played in his first Grand Slam semi-final at Wimbledon, before losing to Novak Djokovic.

In addition, he played in three finals on the main circuit, on three different surfaces: at Queen's on grass, at Umag on clay and at Chengdu on hard court, but lost each time.

Nevertheless, his results over the last few months make him a reliable player in all tournament categories.

Corrado Barazzutti, who joined Musetti's staff at the end of last season, speaks of the player's progress and hopes to see him quickly reach even greater heights.

"I'd say Lorenzo has had a great season, not only for the results he's achieved, but also for the changes he's made to his game.

Now he needs to work on consistency and continuity during matches. I'm certainly not inventing hot water when I say that. He's got the kind of tennis that can allow him to play against the best.

He proved that in an indoor match against Alexander Zverev in Vienna. The top 10 is within his grasp, provided, of course, that he continues to progress and, above all, that he plays with the continuity necessary to take steps forward.

In this sense, Sinner can be a benchmark. Every player is different and has his own characteristics.

Of course, Jannik has the desire to keep improving and must be a role model, but I believe that there are also qualities that lead players to reach certain positions in the rankings", he analyzed.
