Lorenzo Musetti does not fear Jannik Sinner
The words of Lorenzo Musetti
Lorenzo Musetti gave a long interview to La Stampa: “I would never change my tennis. Maybe on the court I need more time than others, but I think it’s more rewarding to stay true to ourselves. And to the dreams we have in our drawer. The most important one was to become a professional, I succeeded. But closed one drawer, in sports as in life, other drawers open. Now it is to reach the top of the ranking, to win a Slam. If in the end I fail to achieve all the goals I set for myself, it will mean that they were out of my reach. But I wouldn’t want to be different from who I am. I would have loved to be able to play against Federer, now it is no longer possible.”
Chapter Carlos Alcaraz: “In one year he has made incredible progress in terms of tennis, but also physically and and in terms of awareness of his own means. Today he is the benchmark, the player to beat. He is the King Midas of tennis: what he touches becomes gold. He is both a friend and a source of inspiration, having beaten him is a boast but also an extra motivation to succeed again.”
“More difficult to control Sinner’s backhand or emotions? Emotions. They are a tougher opponent than any shot. Also because in today’s tennis there are no big technical and tactical gaps, you can see it even from the many players close to the top 100 who manage to abate a top 10 or even a top 5. We are moving more and more toward a flattening of values. The difference, at a certain level, is on the emotional level and on the mental level. And there the best have a leg up. Tennis is a sport that can take you to the top quickly but sometimes it hurts you so much that you almost come to reject it. In the last couple of weeks so much stress built up, I had to defend the victory in Hamburg and subconsciously I felt it. I felt like being on the court, but some nervousness came back. However, it didn’t go horribly (semifinals in Bastad, quarters in Hamburg, ed.), and besides a few points I feel I brought home some extra experience.”
Chiosa on the words of Ivanisevic, who said claims that only Djokovic and Sinner can beat Alcaraz in a Slam: “I disagree. There are several players who can bother him. And there are others who are blossoming and whose true value we haven’t seen yet.”

US Open, Alexander Zverev also out: Jannik Sinner thanks.
All-U.S. semifinal at US Open
Another big man exits the tournament. After the various Alcaraz and Djokovic, Zverev è is also no longer in the running at the US Open. The German è was beaten by Fritz in four sets (7-6 (2) 3-6 6-4 7-6), at the end of a match that è lasted almost three and a half hours. A defeat that leaves a lot of bitterness in Zverev’s mouth. The German was aiming to reach at least the final.
A feat for the American who, dragged by the home crowd, won the first semifinal of a Slam event. After winning the first set on tie-break, Fritz suffered the return of Zverev, who took home the second partial with a peremptory 6-3. The momentum seemed to be in the German’s hands but Fritz escaped on 3-0. Zverev recovers but gives up at the più beautiful. Spectacular fourth set. Zverev tries everything but, once again, the tie-break costs him dearly. He loses it 7-3 and says goodbye to the tournament.
Dreams big for Fritz who, in the semifinals, will face the other American Tiafoe who, in the quarterfinals, wins the match with Dimitrov, forced to retire in the fourth set due to a physical problem: 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 4-1 the partials in favor of Tiafoe.
The United States dreams, after 21 years (Roddick, 2003), of an American winning the U.S. Open. In the meantime, it enjoys Sinner who, thanks to Zverev è’s knockout; increasingly serene in his comfortable position as world No. 1.
