Much has been said throughout today about Lorenzo Musetti's striking streak of lost finals. The Italian has reached the top-5 despite losing his last seven consecutive finals, a situation that has drawn criticism and even questioned the state of tennis. Is it really so negative? Is he the only one to go through such a streak? History tells us otherwise, as Nicolas Kiefer was ranked #4 in the world after losing 10 straight finals, Kei Nishikori reached the same ranking with 9 consecutive title match defeats, and names like David Ferrer, Milos Raonic (both as world number threes), Sergi Bruguera, or Felix Auger-Aliassime also experienced similar successful periods despite a stretch like Lolo's. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Lorenzo #Musetti has lost his 7th tournament final in a row, but in the last 36 years he's not the only player ranked at least 1 week Top-5 (as Lorenzo tomorrow) to make the same. pic.twitter.com/5oBBBzE4pC
