After finishing an incredible summer with a run at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Lorenzo Musetti is just excited to get back to his weekly grind in Cincinnati.

After defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime to win bronze in the men’s singles competition, the Italian player became the first tennis player from his nation to win an Olympic medal in a century.

Instead of allowing that dream-come-true result to define him, Musetti says he’s ready to build on it at the Cincinnati Open, his first tournament back after some well-earned time off.

Musetti told the press after his first-round win in Cincinnati: “A medal is something that I, of course, won’t forget. But I don’t want to think about it for the rest of my career. I have to try to focus on each week, and each week is different.”

He added: “Of course, the results that I have achieved in the last couple of months are helping me to enter the court with more belief in myself, and more trust in what I do.”
