Update
Carlos Alcaraz and Lorenzo Musetti They are preparing to face each other in the round of 16 of the Miami Open in a very attractive meeting and in which Spanish is not so favorite as one might think. Carlos Alcaraz is playing, even though he is currently number 2, at the level of number 1 in the world. He comes from winning Indian Wells and in the second round match against Gael My son gave an exhibition of creative tennis like few others have seen in recent years. But with his rival today he maintains a rivalry ‘hidden’: if we talk about the strength of Italian tennis, we talk, because the results sing, about Janiik Sinner. But the Australian Open champion is not alone and Lorenzo Musetti He is one of his most qualified ‘followers’.
Alcaraz y Musetti They are rivals generational. The Italian is a year older than the Spanish. They competed together in the junior category with the advantage of Musetti, who was world number 1 of the category. Then, they competed for the title of revelation of the year, for entering the ‘top 100’, and then Carlos took off. Musetti’s career has continued at his pace, but this is also good: at 22 years old he is the current number 24 ATP. He has reached 15. He has two titles and one of them, the ATP 500 of Hamburg 2022, defeating Carlos in the final precisely Alcaraz. And, among others, he has also surpassed Sinner himself and Novak Djokovic. Perhaps its main defect is the irregularity, which has sometimes caused them to string together losing streaks in the first round. But in this Miami Open it is evidently not being like that, and it is in the round of 16 after beating Safiullin and the emerging Ben Shelton.
From Carlos Alcaraz There is little more to say than remembering his title in Indian Wells, defeating consecutively and with authority Zverev, Sinner y Medvedevand point out again that its exhibition before My son woke up the admiration of his own rival. But we will also have to hope that the player himself and his team are aware of how dangerous the game is. trust -in Buenos Aires He already had a bad time for it – and even more so against a qualified rival, like the Italian.
Alcaraz y Musetti they have faced three times, with two victories for the Spanish. The Italian won their first clash on the circuit, the final of Hamburg 2022 (6-4, 6-7, 6-4) Carlos did it in the round of 16 Roland Garros 2023 (6-3, 6-2, 6-2) and in those of Pekin the same year (6-2, 6-2). The one from El Palmar also won his duel on the Challenger circuit: the semifinal of Trieste 2020 (7-5, 2-6, 6-3)
