Lorenzo Musetti he is 19 years and 19 days old and from today he is the youngest in the top hundred of world tennis. It takes away the primacy of another Italian Jannik Sinner. They are the two youngest, born in 2002 and 2001, among the top hundred players in the world. If this record was not enough, there is another one to celebrate: from today there are nine Italians in the top hundred of the ATP ranking. It never happened.
Musetti joins the club to which they are already members, in addition to Sinner with whom a national dualism is already rumored to be Coppi and Bartali, Matteo Berrettini, Fabio Fognini, Lorenzo Sonego, Stefano Travaglia, Salvatore Caruso, Marco Cecchinato and Andreas Seppi.
He got the points to make it into the group of the best, those who avoid qualifying for tournaments, reaching the semifinals at the tournament of Acapulco, yes, that place where Love Boat’s Pacific Princess always went and the first beach to the left of Gigi and Andrea.
Here the boy from Carrara, a very pure talent, made the leap into the big club. They were waiting for him. It is difficult not to predict a glorious future for those who have been able to win the Australian Open Junior category at the age of 17, the youngest up to then in the golden roll of the tournament.
If the example and the champions are the ones that attract the new adepts of the sport there was no better time because the tennis churned out. In the year of the pandemic, the racket literally exploded all over the world: not only tennis, but also padel, which combines characteristics of tennis, squash and beach tennis.
Tennis is winning because it is practiced in distance. The camps were among the first facilities to reopen and the last to close in times of lockdown. In the worst case scenario you train alone against a wall, in the most ingenious you play between the roof of a building and the other as Carola and Vittoria did last spring.
