Lorenzo Musetti could play his last match of the season tomorrow. He will face Carlos Alcaraz at the ATP Finals 2025, and depending on what happens, we will either see him in the semifinals or not. And what about the Davis Cup Finals?

This has been the topic of discussion within the Italian team all morning, considering how worn out Lorenzo Musetti arrives at these final turns of the calendar. The player from Carrara is in Filippo Volandri's call-up, but at this hour his participation is in doubt, although there will be time to discuss this. The point is that tomorrow he has a direct duel with Carlos Alcaraz in the group stage of the Nitto ATP Finals, a match that will determine the possible end of his 2025 season. In an interview with the colleagues at Ubitennis, we can hear Musetti analyzing his attitude before this significant battle.

"This victory gives me a lot of confidence, especially emphasizing the work I am carrying out," says Lorenzo minutes after defeating Alex De Minaur in a tough and tense match. "Without a doubt, it is very good news that I am still in the race to qualify for the tournament's semifinals, although a large part of my chances will depend on my performance against Carlos," assesses a man who began his journey in Turin losing in straight sets to Fritz.

Will he be able to overcome Carlos and extend his adventure in the Masters Cup? He has the enthusiasm, although we will see if he also has the physical and tactical component. "It will be the toughest match in the group; I know him very well because we have faced each other several times in the past, even this season we met on various surfaces. If there is one thing I am sure of, it is that in that match, I will be the favorite of the public. Let's hope they can lead me to work the miracle," says the world No. 9.

Musetti rectifies his words about Alcaraz

Taking all categories into account, Alcaraz and Musetti have faced each other eight times, resulting in seven victories for the player from Murcia. The only time Lorenzo came out on top was in the final of Hamburg 2022, the first time they clashed in an official match, held on clay in the middle of summer. Tomorrow will not be summer, nor will it be on clay, hence why some misinterpreted his words about his favoritism for this encounter during a press conference.

"I'm not quite sure what I said before, but if that's the case, I prefer to correct myself. What I really meant is that probably this is a surface on which Carlos does not feel as comfortable as, for example, he might on clay, where he feels at home. If it was understood that here it would be easier to defeat him, that's not the case, I didn't mean that," emphasized the Italian, one of the most challenging opponents for the El Palmar player according to their head-to-head record. What will happen tomorrow?
