Lorenzo Musetti shared his thoughts after defeating Fritz
Making quick work of Taylor Fritz, Lorenzo Musetti took centre stage and talked about his round four performance. He also talked about the challenges of being away from his family.
“I feel more mature on the court. I’m playing better for that, and for them. I didn’t get much sleep in the offseason. But we found a way to work and to practice really well on and off the court. Now it’s more than 20 days that I’m alone and it’s not easy, but I feel their presence also here,” Musetti said.
