He is in his habitat, at the tournament where he has shown his best tennis and facing the opportunity to take a new qualitative leap that presents him as a strong candidate for glory. Lorenzo Musetti is in the round of 16 of the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo 2025 and attended a press conference to make interesting reflections on the type of player he aspires to become.

Talented, refined, elegant, artistic, vintage. These are some of the adjectives often linked to Lorenzo Musetti since he began to stand out, perceiving them as antonyms of maximum competitiveness and a serious candidacy to harvest major titles. The Italian is fed up with that perception and seems ready to show a competitive spirit and character not usually associated with players of his style. After winning an agonizing match against Jiri Lehecka with skill and determination, the Italian appeared at the press conference of the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo 2025 to discuss this purpose.

"I believe in myself more than before, which allows me to react to adverse situations," Lolo begins before opening up. "Sometimes, I am so eager to prove things that I end up blocking myself. I can't afford so many ups and downs and distractions; I must be able to fight without losing level. I have always been seen as the handsome guy who doesn't put on his work overalls and doesn't know how to endure. I want that to end; I am willing to get my hands dirty in every match," he affirmed.

Asked about his upcoming match against Matteo Berrettini in the round of 16 of the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo 2025, the Italian was assertive. "This match will be totally different from the two we played in the past. We have never faced each other on clay courts, I respect Matteo a lot, and I think it is a good opportunity to enjoy a nice battle. We are showing that, even though Sinner is not here, we can keep Italy at the top," commented a hopeful Lorenzo Musetti about what he can achieve in the Monegasque event.
