Lorenzo Musetti has secured a historic milestone in his career, breaking into the top 10 of the PIF ATP Rankings for the first time. The 23-year-old Italian achieved this feat after a commanding victory over Alex de Minaur at the Madrid Open, winning 6-4, 6-2 to advance to the quarter-finals.

Musetti’s rise to No. 9 in the live rankings ensures that he will officially enter the top 10 when the updated rankings are released on Monday. This achievement makes him the sixth Italian player since 1973 to reach this elite status, joining the ranks of Adriano Panatta, Corrado Barazzutti, Fabio Fognini, Matteo Berrettini, and Jannik Sinner.

His success in Madrid is a continuation of his strong form on clay, where he has been dominant in recent months. Musetti’s ability to control rallies and execute precise shot-making has been a key factor in his ascent. His recent performances, including a deep run in Monte Carlo and a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, have solidified his reputation as one of the most promising young players on tour.

With his breakthrough into the top 10, Musetti is now setting his sights on even greater achievements. He remains in contention for the Madrid title and will face lucky loser Gabriel Diallo in the next round. As he continues to climb the rankings, the Italian star is proving that he belongs among the best in the world.
