Musetti upsets de Minaur at the ATP Finals and wins in three sets
Lorenzo Musetti and Alex de Minaur were both seeking their first victory at these ATP Finals in Turin. The match started well for the Italian thanks to a break secured in the 11th game, which allowed him to take the first set 7-5.
But he then missed 3 break point opportunities at the start of the second set, before conceding his own service game in the 8th game and losing the set 6-3.
De Minaur immediately took control of the decisive set with an early break and even later missed two chances for a double break. However, Musetti found the necessary resources to catch up before breaking his opponent to win the match 7-5, 3-6, 6-4.
The suspense is total in this Group A where no one is officially qualified or eliminated yet.
