Lorenzo Musetti graces the latest digital cover of ICON, sharing insights into his journey from childhood dreams to professional triumphs. His first love, a tennis racket gifted by his father, sparked a passion nurtured in his grandmother’s basement, where young Musetti honed his craft. Inspired by his idol, Roger Federer, he developed his signature one-handed backhand to the soundtrack of ’80s and ’90s rock, another of his enduring passions.
The Italian star highlights his Olympic bronze medal at Paris 2024 as a career milestone and reveals his aspiration to evolve both on and off the court. “Becoming the best version of myself as a player, man, and father is what matters most,” Musetti shared.
The feature, titled “Next Gen: The Icons,” captures Musetti’s multifaceted persona in an exclusive interview and photoshoot by Giampaolo Sgura, featured in ICON 94, now available on newsstands.
