Lorenzo Musetti played and lost a tough match in the Australian Open first round at the hands of world no.186 Harris Lloyd 6-4 6-1 6-7(0) 2-6 7-6(4). Lorenzo didn’t look very focused in the first 2 sets. The reason for Lorenzo Musetti’s subdued performance was that Simone Tartarini, Musetti’s coach, fell ill shortly before the match. Fortunately, nothing serious: just a panic attack which, however, saw him forced to resort to the intervention of the doctors who promptly admitted him to hospital.
