The blue, with the top 10 now consolidated, beats the Canadian 6-4 6-3 in an hour and a half. Tomorrow will face the number five in the world that has eliminated Arnaldi
An extraordinary Lorenzo Musetti respects the favors of the prediction, sweeps via Diallo and takes the semifinal of the ATP 1000 of Madrid, the second consecutive on the red earth. The Tuscan thus celebrates the top 10 just conquered in the best way (it will become official on Monday), playing a solid and concrete match against the Canadian (6-4 6-3 in an hour and 27 minutes) who was unable to repeat yesterday’s feat, when he had beaten Grigor Dimitrov also canceling three matches points. Too much the difference between the North American and Musets, which is undoubtedly experiencing the best moment of his career and the ranking does nothing but reflect what he is achieving.
The match
–
It was not a very simple game for the carrine. In the first set, after suffering the break in the sixth game, Lorenzo slipped 4 consecutive games to complete the comeback and close the first part. In the second, however, the opening break was decisive by the blue, and then repeat at the end of partial. “Today I did not show my best tennis, but what he cared was the victory – Musetti said at the end of the game – I did not play as against De Minaur, I knew that today it would have been a hard game, especially from a mental point of view, but I was concentrated until the last point. Draper? Tomorrow will be a struggle, I hope to put it in great difficulty”. The student of Simone Tartarini on Monday will be number 8 in the world if Casper Ruud will not win the tournament, number 7 if he manages to get to the final and number 6 in the event of a first victory of a 1000 career. It will not be simple in the semifinal, because Jack Draper is one of the most fit players of the moment and he too is clearly experiencing the best season of his career. The previous ones are clear, 3-0 for the British, but all and are on indoor concrete, they have never met on red earth. And this, for Musetti, could make the whole difference in the world.
