«It doesn’t happen, but if it happens…». It also applies to Roland Garros the mantra of the Maneskin at Eurovision, because even on the French clay there are young Italians to play for a front row seat in one of the Grand Slam tournaments. Jannik Sinner e Lorenzo Musetti they are in the round of 16 and are facing each other respectively Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, the third and first player in the world.
There must have been three Italians committed against the monuments of tennis. However, there will be no meeting between Matteo Berrettini and Roger Federer. The Swiss, to better prepare Wimbledon, left the Roland Garros and the blue is already officially in the quarter-finals, where he awaits the winner of the eighth between Musetti and Djokovic.
All in the field in the afternoon (live on Eurosport). The first match is Djokovic-Musetti no earlier than 13.15. Following Nadal-Sinner, no earlier than 16, based on previous matches.
The growth path of the Italian boys, born in 2001 Sinner and 2002 Musetti, is measured above all in these matches that have climbed, against players who have dozens of Grand Slams on the bulletin board. Only Nadal has won 13 times in Paris.
That there is talent is evident, for Sinner and Musetti, as for Berrettini. The New York Times speaks of a “golden generation of Italian tennis” and wonders where it was born. Certainly the male had been missing for years. It has not happened since 1962 that three Italian players have come this far in the Grand Slam tournament. The point is in the numbers.
Not a single star, but an entire movement destined to expand in the wake of the new champions. Two are still teenagers, to find two from the same country so far ahead in a slam you have to go back to Chang and Agassi in the late 1980s. There are 10 blues among the top 100 in the world and 4 are among the top thirty. According to the experts, the credit is due to the great work done by private coaches, such as Riccardo Piatti for Sinner, and to the collaboration with the Federation.
Career is built meeting by meeting. «I will think about how to try to beat Djokovic. Above all I will try to have fun », said Musetti for the first time in front of the five sets of a Grand Slam tournament. “Playing against Novak and Rafa? Difficult, but these are important tests, which will do us good», Sinner said instead that he finds that Nadal who beat him a few weeks ago in Rome and last year defeated him in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros.
