Lorenzo Musetti, fresh off his latest victory at Roland-Garros, took a lighthearted approach when asked about the secret behind Italy’s strong presence in professional tennis. With a playful nod to his country’s celebrated cuisine, he joked that the success might come down to pasta or pizza.
Beyond the humor, Musetti expressed immense pride in being part of an era where Italian tennis is thriving. He highlighted the remarkable achievements of the past year, which saw Italy claim both the Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cup. The simultaneous triumph of the men’s and women’s teams was a defining moment that united the country’s tennis community, creating memories that will endure for years to come.
This is what he said: “Jokes aside, we have a bit of luck right now because we are living the best years of our tennis. Speaking of men and women. Definitely being part of this group last year was amazing for us. We won Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup at the same time. We could share because it was the same week. This emotion will last forever in our hearts. I remember this stadium when I played the Olympics last year. For me, representing Italy is an honor and I always love to play for my country.”
For Musetti, representing Italy on the global stage is an honor. Whether at the Olympics or Grand Slam tournaments, he carries a deep appreciation for the opportunity to play for his country. As he continues his journey on the clay courts of Paris, his reflections serve as a reminder of the strength and unity that define Italian tennis today.
