Musetti sends a message to Parisian fans: "These are things I don't like".
Lorenzo Musetti has been in exceptional form for some time now.
Resurrected by his match against Djokovic at Roland-Garros, he has been putting in a string of fine performances ever since.
Semi-finalist at Wimbledon, then finalist at Umag last week, he showed no fear in his Olympic debut.
Facing Gaël Monfils in the first round, he proved perfectly solid, outclassing his opponent in all areas of the game (6-1, 6-4).
At the end of the match, the Transalpine nevertheless made a point of addressing the Parisian public, who had not always been fair-play, frequently booing him.
Somewhat frustrated, he declared: "I didn't like all those whistles when I went out on the pitch. These are things I don't like because I like healthy values like respect.
I understand the cheering, but the booing when I took the field seemed too much. Today, I won on the pitch, and that's the most important thing."
On the tennis front, Musetti will be aiming to reach the last 16 this Tuesday. To do so, she will have to overcome Mariano Navone, a specialist on the surface.
