Musetti is ready: "I'm playing the best tennis of my life".

Le 02/08/2024 à 17h49 par Elio Valotto

Lorenzo Musetti has been in prodigious form for several weeks now.

Brilliant on grass, he has not missed his transition to clay and is enjoying a top-class Olympic Games. Having reached the semi-finals without losing a set, the Italian left-hander seems unstoppable.

On cloud nine, he mastered Alexander Zverev perfectly in the quarters (7-5, 7-5) and will now meet Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals this Friday, not before 7.00 pm.

When asked about his qualification, Musetti made no secret of his satisfaction: "I made very few mistakes and played every point as if it were my last. I exhausted him (Zverev) tactically and physically minute after minute.

I'm playing the best tennis of my life. I can win. I'm experiencing the best moment of my career, but not only in terms of the quality of my tennis.

It's about continuity, professionalism, endurance and competitiveness."
