Historic meltdown from Musetti in Beijing: "These damn Chinese.."
Lorenzo Musetti had to sweat to overcome the first round of the ATP 500 in Beijing against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, a match where he even collapsed during the second set tiebreak against the Frenchman. “These damn Chinese... they're always coughing!”, exclaimed the Italian without realizing that there is not a single court on the entire circuit without small built-in microphones.
A moment of outburst that, curiously, helped him relax and refocus to eventually win a three-set match. Now the draw has him facing another French player (Adrian Mannarino), although the focus will be on the audience. Will the front row spectators catch a cold again?
