Lorenzo passes 7-5 6-4 against the former number 1 in the world after the match stopped on the match point
Stronger than the rain. He believes it and is good for it. Because this Lorenzo Musetti, capable of knocking Daniil Medvedev in two sets 7-5 6-4 coming to conquer the first quarters at the hole of his career, is increasingly frightening. Corrado Barazzutti, who has been following him for a year and a half, together with Simone Tartarini who has grown it, is certain: “Musetti is in the world elite, and on earth he is among the very first in the world”. The Montecarlo final, the semifinal in Madrid and now the quarterfinals in Rome certify it and this museums also loaded Roland Garros in key. With this result, at the moment it is in a ninth virtual position in the race for the Finals, and the dream of seeing two Italians in Turin begins to take shape.
The game
–
Daniil Medvedev, who hated the earth, changed his mind when two years ago he managed to conquer the title at the Foro Italico. Of course, red is not its surface but with a cow style on the ice that she had put on display until then, now she has also learned to slide, adapting its tactic to the earth. The first set begins without big shocks, except for those of the clouds that stop in the match for a water. Ten minutes to break without even leaving on the pitch and then starts again with muets that keeps the service on 2-2. The balance breaks in the 9th game, with a couple of Medvedev errors who yield two break balls to the blue. The Tuscan passes to the second chance, but immediately afterwards he is taken up by the Russian who in the 11th game once again grants the break allowing the Musets to close the first set 7-5.
And the rain came
–
Lorenzo takes advantage of the wake and begins by snatching the service at the opening of the second part with a winter of straight cross in the race in Medvedev who explodes the Grandstand. Musetti feels more and more secure, gives some pearls of his with the fairy hand but in the eighth game ends below 15-30. He manages to keep his head forward: 5-3. Medvedev is used to stay in the match, the audience makes noise and he silences him, he holds the 5-4 then muses for the quarterfinals. It begins to rain strong when I’m on 30-30, but the match point, after a dampened at the museums, arrives under the flood. Everyone inside and game suspended until 19.30 when the two contenders are part of heating. We start again on the match point, Lorenzo serves a second one and then closes with a straight to go out.
