Carrarese starts 2025 at its best

After a truly special 2024 full of great satisfaction, with, for example, even winning an Olympic medal in the singles event in Paris, Musetti is aiming for a 2025 as a genuine protagonist. The season’s debut è was definitely a positive one for the blue player engaged in the Hong Kong tournament.

Musetti, the number two seed in the men’s draw of the tournament, è won over Diallo in two sets (6-4, 6-3 the partials). Match well managed by the Italian who, in fact, never gave the Canadian a chance to put fear into him. Great changes of pace, excellent backhand and stinging serve, soì Musetti snatched the pass to the quarterfinals.

Musetti thus avenged the defeat suffered by Diallo in the 2023 Davis Cup (in Bologna). At this point, head already; to the next match. The Wimbledon 2024 semifinalist è awaited by the delicate confrontation with the Spaniard Munar, an opponent that should definitely be taken with caution.

The Spaniard ruled the Portuguese Borges in two sets (6-3, 7-5). It will serveà the best version of Musetti to continue the journey in Hong Kong and make this start of the season even more special. Musetti wants to get off to a great start and be a major player throughout 2025. The start è definitely comforting.

Milan challenged: “Go to work”.

In spite of winning the Italian Super Cup, it certainly cannot be considered positive Milan’s year.

The Rossoneri fans, disappointed with the’progress of the season, staged a hard protest at the Meazza match with Monza that closed the championship of the two Lombardy teams.

No banners displayed and choruses leaving little room for the’imagination: “To work, go to work”, “Are you leaving or not?” and “Yankee go home” among them. Hailed Paolo Maldini with an ad hoc chorus. After the vigorous protest, the Milan fans blatantly abandoned their seats in the stands, leaving a vast and visible hole in the heart of the Curva Sud.

Very few biancorossi fans also showed up for the ’appointment at the ‘Scala del Calcio’: Alessandro Nesta&#8217s team, long since relegated to Serie B, will play in well other stages next season, most likely with another coach on the bench.
