Stefanos Tsitsipas and Lorenzo Musetti will face off in an exciting semi-final in Lyon after they played the final 4 in Acapulco a few months ago.
This match between Tsitsipas and Musetti will be a great one to watch because of their entertaining way of interpreting tennis and their flashing 1-handed backhand.
Musetti has enormous respect for Stefanos Tsitsipas, and during the interview that followed his victorious match against Aljaz Bedene, the Italian explained what he will try to do to defeat the Greek sensation.
“He is one of the best guys on Tour. Acapulco was really tough for me as I played a lot of matches and I didn’t have enough energy to play 100 percent. He served really well, and he played well with the forehand, moving me around a lot.
I will try to lead the match and try not have him dominate me,” said Lorenzo.
Lorenzo Musetti may still have issues with his energy since he played 4 hours more than Stefanos in Lyon. Also, the world number 5 has been serving extremely well. He has conceded no break points in the first 2 matches that he played in France.
