Lorenzo Musetti, the Italian tennis star, has recently turned heads with his new haircut. Known for his long, flowing locks, Musetti debuted a dramatically shorter hairstyle at the Hong Kong Tennis Open, shocking fans and sparking conversations across social media.
Musetti, who started the 2025 season with a solid 6-4, 6-3 victory over Gabriel Diallo, revealed that the decision to cut his hair was heavily influenced by his girlfriend, Veronica Confalonieri. “I thought about it a lot during last season. The last years I was always having long hair but at the end, it became a little bit annoying with the drying,” Musetti shared in an on-court interview. “I decided with my girlfriend. She was the one who made the decision for me, but I’m happy to cut it.”
Veronica Confalonieri, a graphic designer and model, has been Musetti’s partner since 2022. The couple, who are also parents to a son, Ludovico, have been seen enjoying holidays together and supporting each other through Musetti’s tennis career.
The new haircut is not just a style change for Musetti but also a symbolic fresh start for the new year. “New year, new look,” Musetti quipped, embracing the change with confidence. Alongside his new haircut, Musetti also debuted his partnership with Asics, sporting an all-Heather Purple kit and charcoal shoes.
Fans have been quick to share their thoughts on Musetti’s new look, with many praising the fresh and youthful appearance it gives him. Musetti, who is aiming for his first title since 2022, hopes that this change will bring a positive impact on his performance on the court as well.
As Musetti continues his journey in the Hong Kong Tennis Open, all eyes will be on him to see if this new look translates into success on the court. One thing is for sure – his girlfriend Veronica played a crucial role in this transformation, proving that sometimes, a little encouragement from loved ones can lead to big changes.
