Musetti: "I've realized it's better to win playing poorly than to lose playing well"

Lorenzo Musetti is currently in top form on the European clay courts and has secured a spot in the semifinals of the Madrid Masters 1000.

Known for his elegant style of play, the Italian spoke with Ubitennis and addressed this topic: "I've been saying it for a long time.

I've always been a player who cared about the aesthetics of the game, someone who loved having a beautiful and elegant playing style.

But anyone who wants to become a great champion must find a way to rely on simple, basic patterns when confidence is low or things aren’t going well.

The qualitative leap of the 'new Lorenzo' lies there. I've realized it's far better to win playing poorly than to lose playing well."

Musetti will face Jack Draper this Friday in the night session for a spot in the Madrid final.
