Lorenzo Musetti’s debut is scheduled for Friday in the 2024 edition of the Internazionali d’Italia, an always special tournament for Azzurri players. The Tuscan arrived in Rome after a positive week spent in Cagliari, in a Challenger 175 in which he found confidence and a high level of play.
The 22-year-old from Carrara just has to repeat himself and find the continuity necessary to compete against the greats of the circuit and obtain an important result in front of the home crowd. During the Media Day, the world number 29 spoke about the absence of Jannik Sinner: “Unfortunately, his absence will be felt, especially for the many people who approached this sport thanks to him.
In the last year he has shown unattainable things. On the other hand, there are many young guys who are having excellent seasons and deserve to make their debut in this tournament, which has given me so much. At the beginning it brought me joy.
My wish for all of them is to enjoy it, because the first Foro Italico is always very demanding in terms of energy” he declared in the interview with Sky Sport.
The words of Lorenzo Musetti
First participation in Rome as a father for the Carrarese: “Obviously everything revolves around little Ludovico, we are really very happy because luckily our health is on our side.
I try to have them as close as possible to feel at home. They will be there in Rome and will be cheering for me from the pitch. It’s something that helps me, an extra stimulus in my opinion being a father, a responsibility that I’m living with positivity and it has given me a lot, I think it can only do me good.”
On the latest tournaments played, the Italian added further details to the SuperTennis microphones: “In Cagliari it was a week of restarting, it had been a long time since I played four consecutive matches. It’s a shame that I wasn’t able to assert myself in the final.
I’m only 22 years old but sometimes it feels like I’ve been on the circuit for a long time. This life tends to speed things up a lot, and make you forget your real age. Sometimes mistakes are made due to excessive haste or because what is happening is not digested as well as possible.”
