Lorenzo Musetti delivered a commanding performance at the U.S. Open, defeating Belgian veteran David Goffin in straight sets, 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. Playing on Louis Armstrong Stadium, the Italian showcased sharp returning and relentless pressure, especially in the second set where he broke Goffin three times. With this win, Musetti matched his best result at the tournament, advancing to the third round for the third time in his career.
A confident stride through the draw
Musetti’s aggressive style paid off as he converted eight of twelve break points and hit 27 winners. Goffin struggled to find rhythm against the Italian’s pace and precision. The victory marked Musetti’s 30th Grand Slam match win, placing him among the top Italian men in tennis history. He now awaits the winner of Jenson Brooksby and Flavio Cobolli in the next round.
Fatherhood brings new perspective
Off the court, Musetti shared reflections on his growing family. He and his partner Veronica are expecting their second child, and while he doesn’t consider himself an expert dad, he feels more prepared than he did the first time. Their son Ludovico, now one and a half years old, was somewhere in the stadium with Musetti’s mother during the match. Musetti spoke with pride about raising a family at a young age, saying it has given him confidence and experience. He expressed joy and anticipation for the arrival of their second child.
Balancing tennis and personal growth
Musetti’s journey at the U.S. Open is not just about forehands and footwork—it’s also about maturity and balance. As he continues to rise in the rankings and deepen his presence on tour, his life off the court adds a layer of depth to his story. With a growing family and a growing game, Musetti is stepping into both roles with grace and determination.
