Lorenzo Musetti has reached the fourth round of the French Open after playing his first main draw in a slam. The Italian sensation will have a rather tricky task in his next match when he faces world number 1 Novak Djokovic.
Nevertheless, Lorenzo Musetti doesn’t seem to be intimidated by the challenge. During the press conference that followed his victory over Marco Cecchinato in the third round, Lorenzo said:
“Last year, Jannik took a lot of confidence against Rafa, and that’s what I’m going to try to do against Novak. I practiced with him so we know a little bit. There will be more tension, but it’s what I’m working for since my childhood is now reality.”
