Lorenzo Musetti has a fantastic one-handed backhand just like his childhood idol Roger Federer. During a recent interview released by Tennis TV, Lorenzo Musetti said that the Swiss player is the greatest ever. Lorenzo commented: “I always see Roger as the greatest ever on grass…my heart is with Roger. I try to imitate him and see him as a teacher.”

Here is the full video.

Musetti calls Federer grass GOAT:

“I see Roger as the greatest ever on grass. Even if Djokovic’s last couple years, he’s done an amazing job.. but my heart goes with Federer bc in a certain way he reminds me of my game bc I’m trying to imitate him..”
