Lorenzo Musetti in the final in Montecarlo: where and when to see the meeting of the blue tennis player

Badly going on Monday Lorenzo Musetti It will be the number 11 of the ATP ranking. If the final of the Master 1000 in Montecarlo against the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz would win would enter the world Tennis top ten directly in seventh place. These numbers would be enough to tell the exceptional week of the blue tennis player, but they describe it better The images of the smile of Musetti, of the kisses of his partner Veronica Confalonieri, of the hugs of Team and family after the victories against Bu, Lehecka, Berrettini, Tsitsipas and De Minaur.

After the victory over Tsitsipas Musetti he had written on the camera “Let’s believe ourselves” and he was the first to do it in the semifinal with the Australian De Minaur after losing the first set for 6 to 1. He won the second 6-4 and won the third at the Tie-break. This time he wrote “Diesel” to show the comeback method that the final with Alcaraz earned. Against the Spaniard, in the final in Hamburg in 2022, Musetti won the first ATP title. Afterwards three defeats followed, but the reborn Musetti in these days in the principality always power almost everyone. It is no longer the player, born in 2002, who breaks down, has become the one that is reborn in comeback and never gives up.

Who is Lorenzo Musetti

For years, despite being very young, born in 2002, it has been considered the most talented of blue tennis players, the only one to make the backhand in one hand, reminiscent of another era of tennis. He learned that tennis playing with dad, who has been working in the marble sector, in the basement of his grandmother and for years, since 2010, his coach has been Simone Tartarini. One thing to which I give up is hardly the cuisine of the already named grandmother Maria, even if he knows the sacrifice. From the province of Carrara his mother Sabrina, employed, led him to Liguria, to La Spezia, to train when we have seen that the talent was there. Pure talent already expressed as a boy: at 16 he won the Australian Open Juniores and played the final of the Us Open in the category. In 2024 he was semi -finalist in Wimbledon and Olympic bronze, the first blue medal of the racket hundred years after Uberto de Morpurgo.

Tartarini told the Tyrrhenus: «We all grew up together. Since 8 years, Lorenzo had had an excellent technical manual skills. It was good at not suffering, as happened to others, the transition from youth competitions to the tennis of the adults. Out of the field, we share the passion for quality music: from the Rolling Stones, passing through Lucio Battisti, Mina, the Deep Purple up to Ligabue ».

“The dictionary is the only place where the word” success “comes before” sweat “”, is a phrase of hers who recalls a teacher. In 2021 the maturity to the linguistic high school. Just in the years followed by the diploma, he has struggled to show his value on the field: the class, sometimes the continuity, character, the ability to not break up if the blow was not perfect has never been missing. Certainly the victory of the Davis Cup with Italy was a turning point, but above all it was paternity.

Ludovico had Ludovico from his partner Veronica Confalonieri, born on March 15, 2024. She tells Musetti as “a very sensitive boy, with an immense heart”. A mature sensitivity with paternity. “At the beginning, pregnancy was destabilizing news for both: we were talking about a child, but it came suddenly, we didn’t expect it so soon. However shocked, we never hesitated. Never thought of making choices other than Bader. Finally Lorenzo was responsible, I really saw him change march. He felt compelled to become great for our son and is succeeding. I’m happy, “he told Corriere della Sera.

In the meetings of Montecarlo the Sanremese Veronica, which was part of the Sky graphic team, never missed in the box. He cried after the victory in the quarterfinals. Lorenzo kissed on Friday and Saturday after the semifinal with a smile that did not seem to be able to brake.
