An extremely positive week, after the one in Stuttgart which ended with a semi-final, to look forward to the prestigious Wimbledon event with even higher morale. Lorenzo Musetti discovered ‘hidden’ qualities on grass and at Queen’s he was very capable of pushing himself to the end of the competition.
In the final, however, it was Tommy Paul who prevailed, despite the Italian having the chance in the tie-break of the second set to completely reopen the match.
The voices of the protagonists
“It was one of the best weeks of my career.
Congratulations to Tommy, he deserved to win today, it was very difficult to stay at his level. I saved face a bit with the counter-break at the end of the second set. Congratulations also to Brad Stine and his entire team, you are doing an amazing job.
Soon you will be in the top 10″ are the nice words said by Carrara towards his opponent during the awards ceremony. Then he added: “A big thank you to my team, to my family who wasn’t here but I know they followed me in front of the TV.
They always go out of their way to support me. I dedicate this special week to my little Ludovico” he concluded. These are the American’s declarations after his success at the Cinch Championships, which will allow him to return as the American number one from Monday: “Seeing the roll of honor here is impressive.
I also wanted to add my name to the great players who have won here. Thanks to Brad and my entire team. Congratulations to Lorenzo, you played some incredible tennis this week. I’m happy to have won and to have shared the field with you.
I was definitely too nervous at the end of the match. After the break, in that particular moment, Lorenzo commanded the game, it wasn’t easy at all. It’s the best approach to Wimbledon. Thanks to all the fans for coming here, to the LTA and to all of you for this splendid tournament” he underlined, in the words reported by SuperTennis.
