Musetti

Lorenzo Musetti made an impression in 2025. Even though he didn't win a title, the Italian, world No. 8, reached three finals (Monte-Carlo, Chengdu, Athens) and also played in the semifinals of several major tournaments (Roland-Garros, Madrid, Rome). His consistency throughout the year thus opened the doors to the ATP Finals, where he came quite close to reaching the final four. The 23-year-old player discussed his work on his attitude during matches.

"I worked on my behavior on the court and I received help from a psychotherapist, then I ended that collaboration. I never sought perfection and I don't like political correctness, I want to remain true to my character, I strive to improve even more.

I've always loved the sound of the ball. I still remember when I played against the wall at my grandmother's and I was already in love with this sport," he stated in recent hours in an interview with the Italian media La Repubblica.

What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Adrien Guyot 13/12/2025 à 09h00

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
