Lorenzo Musetti is only 22 years old, but during this 2024, he has already become a father for the first time, and it doesn't seem to have hindered his promising tennis career. Despite stating at the beginning of the year that he wasn't expecting great results on the court and wanted to focus on his son, the truth is that little Ludovico has become an incentive for him to compete better, achieving reaching the semifinals of Wimbledon, the finals of Queens and Umag, and winning a bronze medal at the Olympics.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Musetti analyzed his situation leading up to the US Open: "The recent period has been important in terms of results and confidence. I've shown myself to be more positive, enterprising, and a warrior. Clearly, being a father led me to discover another part of myself and gain a different perspective on life."

The talented Italian went on to refer to his opponent in the first round, Reilly Opelka: "He's a tough opponent. I hope to start on the right foot and have two good weeks here in New York."
