Lorenzo Musetti defeated Alex de Minaur to secure his place in the finals of Monte Carlo. Lorenzo made history after defeating the Australian player.
The 22-year-old Italian player was for a long time considered to be the brightest talent of the ATP Tour. His calm and composed gameplay on the red clay gave him an advantage over his competitor to move forward into the finals.
Lorenzo, who has displayed incredible skills and flair during the whole week, emphasized the support of this team and fans for pushing him forward day by day.
“The confidence… But more than confidence… It’s something you have to experience to believe it,” Musetti replied with a smile. “It’s not that you can think that before it happens. It’s something remarkable.”
Lorenzo, who is known for his one-handed backhand shot and creativity, was seen a little emotional during the post-match interview. “The confidence… But more than confidence… It’s something you have to experience to believe it,” Musetti replied with a smile. “It’s not that you can think that before it happens. It’s some remarkable.”
The Monte Carlo atmosphere has often been favorable to local and regional favorites, and Musetti seems to have fed off that support all week long.
With this win, he becomes the first Italian man to reach the Monte Carlo final since Fabio Fognini won the title in 2019.
He will now face the biggest challenge of his career in Sunday’s final, where he is set to take on a top-seeded opponent. Regardless of the result, this milestone marks a turning point for Musetti, who has proven he belongs among the elite.
