Players on the field!
11:55 Last year Musetti made it clear that he knows how to play on grass, this year he confirmed it! The semi-final in Stuttgart and the final in the 500 at Queen’s with scalps of the caliber of Alex De Minaur and Jordan Thompson, have made the Italian rediscover awareness of his tennis.
11:50 The Italian defends the points of the 3rd round obtained in 2023, when he surrendered in two tie-breaks to Hubert Hurkacz, with a 6-4 in between. By winning today the Italian would confirm the 25th place, arriving at -10 points from the 24th position.

11:40 Here we are! In about 20 minutes the Italian and the French will take the field.

With that result, the Italian returned to 25th place in the ATP rankings, which is the best ranking he has reached this year.

Today’s debut features a player who adapts well to the surface, but who absolutely cannot keep up with the Italian’s pace. Lestienne, number 42 in the world, makes touch his main asset, but today he is facing one of the best arms in the world.
All that remains is to wish you a good continuation with the Live Broadcast of the 2024 Wimbledon 1st round match between Lorenzo Little snouts and Constant Lestienne. We leave at 12.00, we are waiting for you!
