Lorenzo Musetti flies to Madrid’s ATP 1000 quarterfinals and officially becomes a top ten. The sixth in blue history in the Open era, since the computerized ranking exists, after Adriano Panatta, Corrado Barazzutti, Fabio Fognini, Matteo Berrettini and obviously Jannik Sinner. The Tuscan beat the Australian Alex de Minaur at the end of an extraordinary match (6-4 6-2 the score), defeated for the second time in a row within two weeks. A sumptuous performance, that of Musetti, which every tournament that always passes to increase its level dramatically.

At this moment Musetti is virtually number nine in the world and could only be exceeded by Casper Ruud or Daniil Medvedev, who, however, will meet in the quarterfinals of the tournament and therefore one of the two will be eliminated, not only from the ATP 1000 but also from the race to the Top 10. Only one of the two can now exceed museums in the standings, thus making Lorenzo officially a top ten from Monday 5 May. Until recently, Musetti was considered only an almost end talent to himself, now maybe he will have put aside a pinch of pure beauty in favor of concreteness, but in doing so he became a tennis machine, especially on beaten earth, very difficult to beat. Alex de Minaur also on earth has always been an extremely solid player, but he really could not have been anything against the Musetti in an extra -luxury version that is being seen in Madrid. In the first set, the blue started immediately very strong and the hamlet could close a long time before 6-4 and 49 minutes that took Lorenzo, who wasted 7 out of 8 break balls. The second set followed the wake of the first, with a museum simply of another level compared to De Minaur. The Tuscan changed Marci on 1-1, without turning back and closing the match in an hour and 17 minutes. Now for him the challenge, as absolute favorite, against Diallo, dreaming of a semifinal, why not, all Italian with Matteo Arnaldi.
