Interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Lorenzo Musetti spoke about his goals for the upcoming 2026 season, with the Australian Open particularly in his sights.

He stated: "Of course, I need to be more consistent to close the gap with Alcaraz and Sinner. I had the chance to face them last season, and I always lost. But it was important to learn the essential lessons from those matches; that's how I understood where I could improve.

"Reaching the second week in Australia"

In the short term, I want to reach the second week in Australia; that's my initial goal. Last year, I was very close, then I lost a match that could have gone differently, which would have allowed me to regain momentum.

And then, if everything goes as planned, I will play the ATP Finals, without having to chase for eight weeks to qualify."
