Lorenzo Musetti for the first time in his career reaches the round of 16 of the US Open, but he does it at the expense of his friend Flavio Cobolli, with whom he has shared the competitive path since childhood: after the 6-3 6-2 of Lorenzo in the first two sets, on the 2-0 of the third Flavio, back from two marathons in five sets and with the muscles of the right arm in flames, retires. The two immediately embraced and Cobolli, after explaining his problem (“The wrist: I can’t keep the racket in his hand when I do the straight”), he made a huge wish to the opponent: “Oh, win!”.
