There are few things prettier in tennis than a 5-set match. A gift like the one Lorenzo Musetti and Tomáš Macháč starred in the third round of the 2026 Australian Open. The Italian ended up prevailing by 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 in 4 hours and 25 minutes of play. Musetti signed one of those victories that leave a mark in a Grand Slam. A match with many ups and downs, in which neither managed to take control definitively. Macháč raised his level in the final stretch of the fourth set to force the decisive set. But there, physicality played a crucial role and ended up giving Musetti the pass to the Australian Open quarterfinals for the first time in his career.
