Lorenzo Musetti’s remarkable 2025 season ended with a moment far more meaningful than any trophy. The Italian star became a father for the second time on Saturday, as he and his girlfriend Veronica welcomed their newborn son, Leandro.
A year of growth on the court
The 2025 campaign marked a major turning point for the 23-year-old Carrara native. Despite lifting no ATP trophies, Musetti collected 45 victories and elevated every part of his game. He improved his numbers on serve and return, showing greater consistency, sharper decision-making, and the creativity that has always made him one of the Tour’s most aesthetically gifted players.
Breakthrough at the ATP Finals
Musetti’s run culminated in a brilliant appearance at the ATP Finals, following his epic ATP 250 Athens final and Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal. The home favorite defeated Alex de Minaur in a thriller, securing his first Turin victory and wrapping up the year as world no. 8. This achievement validated years of effort, patience, and steady growth, placing him firmly among the sport’s elite.
Family milestone beyond rankings
No victory or ranking climb could match the joy Musetti experienced this weekend. He shared the news with warmth and pride, describing the moment as the best gift he could imagine after such an emotionally rich year. Holger Rune, Richard Gasquet, and many others congratulated the happy family, underscoring the respect Musetti commands among his peers.

At the moment ranked no.8, the Italian played his last match on the 13th of November when he capitulated to world no.1 Carlos Alcaraz 6-4 6-1 in the round robin in the Nitto ATP Finals (draw).
Currently, during this season the Italian has managed to achieve an overall 45-22 match record. Lorenzo Musetti’s most significant result of the present season was getting to the final in Monte Carlo, Chengdu and Athens.
He is also scheduled to play in Hong Kong (Hong Kong Tennis Open). The main draw will start on the 30th of December.
