A dramatic end to an interesting exhibition battle at the 2026 Australian Open. Just after losing the first set tiebreak against Alexander Zverev, Lorenzo Musetti withdrew due to lower back pain: "Today is not my day, I would love to continue but I don't want to risk it for the real matches. I hope you enjoyed it and thank you for supporting us."

Lorenzo Musetti suffered another major disappointment by losing another ATP tournament final, this time in Hong Kong. The Italian has the staggering record of 7 consecutive lost finals, all of them in 2024 and 2025. After winning the first two he played in Hamburg and Naples in 2022, the Carrara native has succumbed in Queen's, Umag, Chengdu (twice), Monte Carlo, Athens, and now Hong Kong. Concerning for a player of his caliber who needs to add a title sooner rather than later.

An exciting match, to say the least, that Alexander Zverev and Lorenzo Musetti were offering in exhibition form at the Rod Laver Arena in preparation for the 2026 Australian Open. Despite the good tennis sensations, the Italian felt a pain in the lower back/glute area after losing the first set tiebreak, and after briefly being treated by the physio on the court, he decided to stop to preserve his physical condition for the first Grand Slam of the season.

Is Lorenzo Musetti's streak of lost finals so negative?

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.

In 2025, Lorenzo Musetti's great season led him to reach the brink of the fifth spot in the ATP ranking. As 2026 kicks off, with Musetti making it to the final of the 2026 ATP Hong Kong, he has secured a place in the global Top 5 starting next Monday, just a week before the Australian Open. Thus, the Carrara native will become the third Italian in the Open Era to achieve this feat, following Adriano Panatta and Jannik Sinner.

Lorenzo Musetti and Andrey Rublev have just played one of the best matches so far this year, facing off in the semifinals of the ATP Hong Kong 2026 and both deserving the win. However, only one can emerge victorious, and it was the Italian who sends a strong warning ahead of the Australian Open. The Carrara native claimed victory by 6-7(3), 7-5, 6-4, after two hours and 45 minutes, and is now in the final, awaiting the winner between Alexander Bublik and Marcos Giron.

Alexander Bublik continues on a high. The change of season has not dampened the spirits and inspiration of the Kazakh, who is getting closer to breaking through barriers that seemed impossible just a year ago. After defeating Jerry Shang in the quarterfinals of the 2026 ATP Hong Kong with a score of 6-1 and 7-6(2), Alexander is just two wins away from entering the ATP top 10 for the first time in his career, a clear sign of his evolution and newfound consistency. In the semifinals, he will face Marcos Giron, the penultimate challenge after Michael Mmoh retired (6-3, 1-0, and retirement); at the top of the draw, we will witness a showdown between Lorenzo Musetti (who defeated Coleman Wong with double 6-4) and Andrey Rublev (who overcame Nuno Borges with 6-3 and 6-4). Great tournament.
