Not even a couple of hours have passed since this morning when we reported the news about the viral comment by Lorenzo Musetti at the ATP 500 in Beijing, during his match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. The Italian, annoyed by some people who wouldn't stop coughing in the stands, got heated and didn't hold back his comment: "These damn guys, they won't stop coughing." Now, it's time to share the positive side, with Lorenzo reaching out on his social media to apologize and admit it was a moment of high tension, although he acknowledges there's no excuse. A perfect way to turn the page, yet we all know that in a sport as emotional as tennis, these things can happen again.
