Expectations around Lorenzo Musetti just keep growing. The Italian's great year, especially on the clay court circuit, where he reached the final in Monte Carlo and the semifinals in Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros, have made him a player to watch closely for this 2026, although he must significantly improve his physical condition, as he ended the season with an empty gas tank.

While his physical condition has not supported him in long and demanding matches, he has also not been able to defeat Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner, the two best players at the moment. Nevertheless, the Carrara native has consistently reached the final rounds of important tournaments and finished 2025 with a record of 45 wins and 22 losses, earning him a spot in his first ATP Finals.

However, the Italian wants to take it a step further. He is not content with just reaching the final rounds; he aims to win them. To achieve this, he has added a coach to his team who is experienced in managing careers of top players like José Perlas.

The former coach of Carlos Moyà, who guided him to World No. 1 and a Grand Slam title, Albert Costa, Guillermo Coria, Nicolás Almagro, Janko Tipsarevic, Feliciano López, and Fabio Fognini, among others, joins Musetti's team to help narrow the gap with the two giants of the circuit.

Although Renzo Furlan, former coach of Jasmine Paolini, not only placed Musetti on the same level as Alcaraz and Sinner but also stated that in terms of gameplay, Musetti is superior to both. This is how ambitious the former player and coach expressed himself about the Italian's tennis in an interview with the Nord Est newspaper.

Renzo Furlan sees Lorenzo Musetti at the level of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner

"On clay, Lorenzo has only lost to Alcaraz and Draper. His 2025 season was excellent, and in 2026, he can aspire to be World No. 3 because, paradoxically, he plays better than Sinner and Alcaraz. The quality and potential are there, but winning a Grand Slam depends on many circumstances."

Novak Djokovic doesn't seem to have many chances to win his 25th Grand Slam

"He might achieve it, but something unusual has to happen: Alcaraz having a bad day in the early rounds, or Sinner experiencing a physical issue like in Shanghai. Of course, if he faces both in the semis or the final, he knows it's almost impossible."

Sinner's upcoming goals revolve around the clay court season

"I'm sure we'll see him with a fighting spirit at Roland Garros because that's the only Grand Slam he's missing. But he will strive to give his best everywhere. Winning Rome could also be an objective," states a very optimistic Renzo Furlan about the future of Lorenzo Musetti.
