Lorenzo Musetti defeated Lorenzo Sonego 6-3, 6-2 in the opening round of Tuesday’s all-Italian match in Vienna to set up his match with Gael Monfils in the second round. This is going to be his greatest accomplishment in this event. Previously, his best performance was making it to the first round in 2021 and 2023.
Musetti has a 2-1 head-to-head advantage over Monfils. He prevailed in straight sets in their prior meeting at the Olympics in Paris this year.
Next year, Musetti will compete in the ATP 500 in Acapulco. By 2025, he is anticipated to be among the best athletes in the Mexican Open Tennis Tournament, given his development this season, in which he also participated in three finals (Chengdu, Umag, and Queen’s Club).
Despite being a young player, Musetti already had a fantastic 2021 Acapulco ATP 500 performance, earning him a spot in the world’s Top 100.
