During the interruption due to an illness among the audience at the Inalpi Arena, the coach tries to shake Lorenzo with direct words
In the second match of his group at the ATP Finals in Turin, Lorenzo Musetti is engaged against the Australian Alex De Minaur. But in the third set, the game stopped for a few minutes: a problem suffered by a spectator in the stands of the Inalpi Arena forced the referee to temporarily suspend the match. With help immediately in action, the players take advantage of the break to meet with their respective teams. It is at this juncture that Simone Tartarini, Musetti’s historic coach, tries to shake him up: “De Minaur has changed gear, even the bar attendant knows that your legs hurt. If you continue like this you’ll lose it, run.” A direct reminder, more human than technical, but typical of the frank language of those who have known the boy forever and know how to prod him at the right moment. In the meantime, the emergency was over and the match resumed as usual, with Musetti called upon to react to the Australian’s comeback and transform his coach’s words into energy on the field.
