Musetti warns: "I have options against Djokovic in the semi-finals."
Confident and secure in his game, the Italian tennis player sees himself with possibilities to surprise Novak in the upcoming round of Wimbledon 2024.
Although his quarterfinal match against Taylor Fritz didn't start in the best way, Lorenzo Musetti managed to resist throughout and ultimately secure the victory. With his win confirmed, Lorenzo is set to face Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of Wimbledon 2024. Musetti talks in a press conference about his upcoming match with the Serbian and what he is achieving at the British Grand Slam.
In Wimbledon semifinals against Novak Djokovic
"I'm still not really aware, I have very good emotions, I'm really happy with what I achieved today, the way I fought in the end," explains Lorenzo at the press conference. "I found a way to develop my game in each set. I had a great response in the fifth, probably this week I played my best tennis. I had many tough losses. My best results were at Roland Garros, especially against Nole, twice in the fifth set. I also had a tough loss against Tsitsipas and Carlos. I have taken a step forward in terms of maturity and experience. Those defeats made me work harder. Today's victory is the result, I believe I have chances against Nole in the next round."
His history against the Serbian a few weeks ago at Roland Garros
"It was a great match, I had my chances. Probably, I didn't seize them, especially in the fourth set. I analyzed that match very well, the key moments and what I can do better. In recent weeks, I started to feel more consistent, a change in attitude. I have played against him in different scenarios several times, including the two occasions at Roland Garros. I beat him once in Monte Carlo, lost the other times. I always end the match with a lesson when facing Nole. You get more stressed playing against him because you know he is the best player in history, one of them. You step onto the court with a different mindset. If I play in a certain way, I will have my chances in the next round."
