Another knockout for Lorenzo Musetti. After winning his debut at the ATP 250 by Marrakech against the French Gaston, the blue lost in the quarterfinals against the n. 126 in the world Alexandre Muller, the first career success against a top 30, with the score of 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 in just under two hours. Too many ups and downs for the Carrarino who, after a nightmare first set with only 5 points won in return, managed to dominate the second set. In the third set the match got on the right tracks for Musetti who also had the chance for the double break lead, but from 3-1 he suffered the comeback of Muller who made the counterbreak first in the sixth game (opened by Italian with three second runners-up) and then finished 6-4 at the third match point. For Musetti, who will now fly to Monte-Carlo for the Masters 1000 in the Principality, this is the sixth knockout in the last seven matches played.
Vavassori ko with Evans
Andrea also leaves the scene vavassors which he lost to Daniel Evans, n. 30 in the world and seeded no. 2, with the score 6-3, 7-5 in an hour and 49 minutes of play. The Piedmontese fought almost on equal terms with a strong opponent, even going within two points of winning the second set having served at 30-30 in the tenth game. For Vavassori remains an excellent tournament that will allow you to reach the new best ranking: in projection, it would pass from n. 201 to no. 174.
