Lorenzo Musetti had a wild card for the main draw in Barcelona, where he will face Feliciano Lopez in the first round. In the meantime, the Italian sensation had the great opportunity of sharing the practice court with tennis legend Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
It’s worth noticing that Tsonga is actually on a collision course against the other Italian sensation Jannik Sinner. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will face Jannik if he beats Egor Gerasimov in the first round.
Lorenzo posted a nice picture on his Instagram with Tsonga, saying: “Cool practice here in Barcellona with Tsonga.”
The tournament in Barcelona will commence this coming week with Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas being the top seeds. Nadal is the hot favorite to win the event. He conquered this specific ATP 500 already 11 times.
This is the draw in Barcelona.
