Musetti Bids School Farewell And Says Hello To Wimbledon

Spoiler:

The teen has finished his studies and is now keen to compete at SW19
Lorenzo Musetti pushed World No. 1 and eventual champion Novak Djokovic to five sets in the fourth round at Roland Garros. When the Italian returned home, it was not just to work on his game; it was to hit the books.

For a week-and-a-half following that loss, the 19-year-old prepared for an oral exam that marked the end of his high school studies. On Saturday, the Italian took the test at his school, Istituto Parini, in Cecina.

“It was the end of the school period of my life. Now I am free!” Musetti told ATPTour.com. “It was a big test. It was all the subjects. It was not easy. But I was prepared, and it went well. I don’t know yet the score that I’ll receive, but I will know next week if I passed or not.”

Musetti has faced plenty of pressure-filled moments since breaking onto the ATP Tour towards the end of last season. The #NextGenATP star has often thrived at the biggest tournaments and performed well on stadium courts. But according to the teen, this was a different experience.

“I was a little bit nervous, because you take the oral exam in front of all the teachers and all the professors. I’m used to speaking with the media and doing interviews. But when you speak about school or something that you study for, it’s not the same,” Musetti said. “The professor asks you about every subject from the year and you have to try to respond.

“For me it went well. I think I passed."

Musetti has studied in Spanish, English and French, adding another level of complexity to his schooling. He won’t miss studying on the road in addition to all his other responsibilities.

“It was an extra thing to do, so it was not easy to manage it,” Musetti said before cracking a laugh. “Now I’m free, so it’s going to be better for sure.”


Currently at a career-high No. 58 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, Musetti was unable to play any tournaments since Roland Garros because of his studies. But now, he is eager to compete at Wimbledon.

Musetti has never played a professional match on grass. But he played the Wimbledon boys’ singles event in 2018, when he made the quarter-finals with wins against Juan Manuel Cerundolo and Hugo Gaston. The 19-year-old believes his artistic game will translate to the surface well.

“It was really surprising for me, [my result at] the French Open. Both [that tournament and the exam] went really well and of course I’m trying to be prepared as I was for those for Wimbledon,” Musetti said. “I’m looking forward to it a lot. For sure I will enjoy playing on grass. I think it’s going to be a good mix, a good combination with my game and grass. I hope to play well and to play my game and to try to go as far as I can.”

Rising Musetti: #NextGenATP star Lorenzo Musetti has gone from strength to strength in the last year. He has risen from outside the Top 250 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, currently at No. 63.

He will look to claim a maiden tour-level title in Scandinavia.

#NextGenATP Stars Korda, Alcaraz & Musetti Headline Cincinnati Qualifying Field

Spoiler:

#NextGenATP stars Sebastian Korda, Carlos Alcaraz and Lorenzo Musetti headline the qualifying field for the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati.

Korda will be competing in qualifying at this event for the third time. The American advanced to his first ATP Masters 1000 main draw at last year's Western & Southern Open, which was held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the time, Korda was No. 225 in the FedEx ATP Rankings. Now, he is World No. 47, just one spot off his career-high FedEx ATP Ranking. The Floridian won his first ATP Tour title in Parma in May.

Alcaraz is another in-form #NextGenATP player. The Spaniard just lifted his first tour-level trophy last week in Umag. This will be the 18-year-old's first appearance in Cincinnati.

Musetti will also make his Cincinnati debut. The Italian, who pushed Novak Djokovic to a fifth set in the fourth round at Roland Garros, enjoyed impressive hard-court results earlier this year. The 19-year-old advanced to the Acapulco semi-finals and the third round in Miami.

Other players in the qualifying field include Americans Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe, 2019 semi-finalist Richard Gasquet and big-hitting German Jan-Lennard Struff.

Musetti Moves Through On US Open Debut

Spoiler:

The 19-year-old will next face Opelka
#NextGenATP Italian Lorenzo Musetti battled back on Tuesday to record victory on his US Open debut as he overcame American wild card Emilio Nava 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-1, 6-3 to reach the second round in New York.

The 19-year-old, who snapped a six-match losing streak with his win, committed just 18 unforced errors to advance in two hours and 31 minutes. Musetti will next face big-serving American Reilly Opelka after the 22nd seed overcame Soonwoo Kwon 7-6(3), 6-4, 6-4.

The Italian, currently No. 60 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, was ranked outside the Top 250 this time last year. However, Musetti has risen quickly, enjoying impressive hard-court results this season with runs to the last four in Acapulco and the third round in Miami.

The Lyon semi-finalist, who edged past Nava in the Australian Open boys’ singles final in 2019, also reached the fourth round at Roland Garros in June, falling to World No. 1 Novak Djokovic after leading the 34-year-old by two-sets-to-love.

Musetti is fifth in the ATP Race To Milan and will be targeting a strong end to the season as he tries to qualify for the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals, which will be held in Milan from 9-13 November.

The 19-year-old Nava was competing in his second tour-level event of the season, after advancing through qualifying to reach the third round in Miami in March.

Opelka defeated Musetti in straight sets in their only previous ATP Head2Head meeting earlier this year in Rome. The American, who overcame World No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas en route to his first Masters 1000 final in Toronto earlier this month, expects a tough test against the Italian.

"I'm going to expect a high-level match,” Opelka said. “He's a great athlete. He's got some really good intangibles, can create some unbelievable shots. He's a shotmaker, and he's really good. I think he'll definitely use our match in Rome, and it will help him feel more comfortable in this match.”
