“Rising Star Lorenzo Musetti Talks Inspiration from Roger Federer at Masters 1000 de Rome”

Opposed to his compatriot Matthew Arnaldi this Sunday for his entry into the running in this Masters 1000 de Rome, Lorenzo Musetti hopes to shine in front of his public. After a rather catastrophic start to the season, the young Italian finds his colors on European clay with in particular a quarter-final at Montecarlo and a half to Barcelona. But at only 21 years old, it is still difficult to find real regularity as shown by his defeat at the start of Madrid against the “terrain” Yannick Hanfmann. A regularity that has often been demonstrated Roger FedererLorenzo’s idol, as he recalled at the microphone of the‘ATP.

“When I play here in Rome, I always remember his game”

“I have an image engraved in my head of when I was a child here at Foro Italico and I saw Roger evolve on these courts“. These words are strong but they sum up well the admiration that the 19th player in the world has for the “Swiss Maestro”. A love of Roger’s game that follows him on a daily basis:” When I play here in Rome I always remember his game and try to move and hit the ball the same“. But then what is the primary reason for this love? Lorenzo replies: “I love everything about him but if I had to choose I would say that it’s his style that is unique, the combination of elegance and pleasure, but also his calm“. Let’s hope for him that the role model Roger Federer takes Lorenzo to the heights of world tennis, but first of all he will have to shine here in Rome in a tournament that he considers “his favorite after the Grand Slams“.
