Lorenzo Musetti reached 150 individual victories as a professional this Sunday thanks to his good win at the Rome Masters 1000 against Brandon Nakashima (6-4, 6-3). A triumph that allows him to advance to the round of 16, where he will have an interesting match against Daniil Medvedev, the former champion here a couple of years ago. Moments after doing his job on the court and leaving a nice mark on camera – ‘Rome, unique six’ – the current top-performing Italian attended to some media to assess the possible events that may unfold in the tournament in the coming days.

Victory over Nakashima

“I believe today I had one of my most solid performances of the season, especially with my serve and forehand. Especially towards the end, I would say everything worked wonderfully; I felt very good about each of my shots. It was not an easy match, regardless of the scoreboard. I wanted to avenge the loss I suffered against Brandon at the last US Open; that was indeed a truly disappointing match for me. Today everything was different; I was very excited to have the Italian crowd with me and also my team. I felt great on the court."

Medvedev, next opponent

“I think I can have good chances for that match; we'll see. We know that Daniil is always a tough opponent, no matter the circumstances. The reality is that we have never faced each other on clay before; this will be the first time. But I've heard that he is happy with the conditions he has found in Rome this season. It will be a great match, especially for the audience and for the show. I see Daniil coming with a great attitude and great tennis, so I will have to bring my best game."

Favorite against Daniil?

“I don't know if I am the favorite; I prefer not to say anything. We must consider Daniil very seriously, as he is always a tough opponent. It is true that our previous matches were on a different surface, and a lot of time has passed since then. Many things have changed in our lives. I will think about the things that depend on me, about entering the court with great determination and a different mindset."

The dream final in Rome

"A final against Jannik Sinner? It is the dream of all Italy, especially considering the moment we are each in and the results we have been achieving recently. The tournament deserves it, for sure, but I don't know if Jannik and I will be the ones reaching that final round. Nor do I know if an Italian will triumph in this edition, but surely an Italian will succeed soon in this tournament."
