Lorenzo Musetti’s dramatic win over Alex de Minaur at the ATP Finals in Turin sparked an emotional celebration, with his partner Veronica Confalonieri moved to tears in the stands before sharing a heartfelt kiss with the Italian star.
A Night of Redemption in Turin
Lorenzo Musetti arrived at the ATP Finals as a late replacement, having missed qualification after losing to Novak Djokovic. Drafted in following Djokovic’s withdrawal, Musetti faced immense pressure, especially after a straight-sets defeat to Taylor Fritz on Monday. But on Tuesday night, backed by a passionate home crowd, he produced a stirring comeback to defeat Alex de Minaur 7-5, 3-6, 7-5.
The match was a rollercoaster. Musetti took the first set with clinical precision, but De Minaur fought back, leveling the contest and even leading 5-3 in the final set. Musetti, however, surged with four consecutive games to seal victory. After the match, he wrote “fino alla fine” on the camera lens—a nod to Juventus, the football club he supports.
“I just kept believing, even when things looked tough,” Musetti said post-match.
Veronica Confalonieri’s Tears and Joy
In the stands, Veronica Confalonieri, Musetti’s partner and mother of their child—with another on the way—was visibly emotional. As Musetti clinched the final point, cameras captured her wiping away tears, overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment and the significance of the win.
