The Italian champion Lorenzo Musetti is going through a very difficult moment. Things went pretty badly in Madrid too
While Jannik Sinner drags Italian tennis and dreams of first place in the ATP ranking, there are those who instead suffer and experience a moment of great discontinuity. The demonstration that you don’t just need talent, but also great mental abilities.
Someone may have already thought about it, but we are talking about the other Italian talent Lorenzo Musetti. The latter, capable of great victories (including those in his career against Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, always on clay), has experienced great problems in recent months and not even clay has been able to straighten out his major difficulties. 10 defeats in the last 15 matches and the feeling that things cannot improve any time soon with some points to defend and the risk of a collapse in the standings.
Even in Madrid things have not changed, Musetti lost in his first match (after the Bye of the first round) against the Brazilian Seyboth Wild. A good tennis player but within the reach of the blue player who instead collapsed in two sets, now the exit from the Top 30 is quite probable and Lorenzo risks slipping out of the seeded zone between Rome and above all Roland Garros. Many then highlighted an annoying detail in the Masters 1000 in Madrid.
Social storm over Musetti after the match
Not only the defeat because both insiders and especially fans have underlined a rather annoying attitude, Musetti always very far from the baseline, not inclined to an offensive game and not only that, because respect towards his opponent has disappeared.
During the match Lorenzo shouted the phrase several times “All phenomena against me”, almost as if to denigrate the talent of his opponent but only highlighting a good day for a tennis player who is still permanently present in the Top 100.
On social media, various people criticized these words and called on Musetti to show humility and work harder in view of the next tournaments. From this point of view, the tweet by journalist Dario Puppo is clear, quite critical of Massa Carrara’s talent. Musetti is called to react as soon as possible to avoid a collapse in the rankings. Here is Puppo’s tweet:
