Lorenzo Musetti needed a victory like this. The Italian made a winning debut at the Barcelona Open 2026 after overcoming Martín Landaluce in a match that started uphill, with a young Spanish player very aggressive from the beginning and capable of putting him in trouble in the first set. However, the Italian relied on experience, patience, and quality to turn the match around and secure a highly valuable victory.

It wasn't just any victory. For Musetti, it marks his first win since Australia, breaking a difficult period marked by injury and lack of competitive rhythm. Beyond the result, the Italian delivered a press conference rich in analysis. His physical condition, the evolution of modern tennis, the future of Landaluce and Jódar, and even a very powerful reflection on the one-handed backhand.

A challenging start

"The start wasn't easy. He hit the ball very hard and was very aggressive from the beginning of the match, but I think I fought and played my best tennis. Surely I need to improve my level in the upcoming matches, but I am very happy to have won a match since Australia. It hasn't been easy months for me and my team, so I am very content to continue like this, starting to find a bit of rhythm in the match."

The future of Spanish tennis

"They both (Landaluce and Jódar) have surprised me because they are good guys, and I think that also makes a difference. I think they work well, have a good mentality, and a good work ethic. They don't seem like typical Spaniards in their game because they hit the ball very hard and not with too much spin. I think both will prefer faster courts, but they have a good future. As I said before, they have a good mentality, work well, and I believe they should let each carve out their own career and build their own profile."

The one-handed backhand

"Physically, I feel good, it's just to deflate a bit. I think the one-handed backhand is the most difficult and spectacular stroke in tennis. It's a bit unusual now. I don't know if it will disappear or not; I hope not. But in modern tennis, the ball speed and intensity are very high, and I think with the one-handed backhand, it's hard to say it has an advantage. I don't know if it will disappear, but for me, it is heading in that direction. I can tell you that I won't teach my son the one-handed backhand because I think with the two-handed backhand, there are many more advantages in return, court coverage, on the left side, and in recovery. I think these are very important advantages in modern tennis."

Defending many points on the clay court tour

"My priority is to feel good physically and be in a good mental state. I want to find my level and believe that, as I did today, fighting is the priority. It's hard to search for my best level from the early matches. The current priority is to play match by match and not think beyond Wednesday or Thursday when I will play. I won't dwell on the points I have to defend. I know there are many, but the ultimate goal is to arrive in Paris in the best condition."

Landaluce's level

"He's a player I like, very aggressive. Today he gave me a lot in crucial moments, especially in the second set. When I could be a bit more solid, he continued to be very aggressive. I went through a difficult period, and the fact that I won, fought, and turned around a match is very important to me. It gives me confidence and breaks a bit the two losses from the last month."

Working with the new team

"He speaks to me in Spanish because I like it; it's a language I have studied since I was a child. I enjoy practicing Spanish. I have to admit I understand better than I speak, although I would like to speak much better. In the last four months, we've worked on many things. In the last two months, we've had little time on the court to find solutions in my game. I think in Australia, I was playing my best tennis and finding completeness in my game. But it's never easy to return after two and a half months. I think José, Simón, and the whole team have been close to me in a tough period because it was the first time I was so far from the circuit. It's good to start again in Barcelona, where he lives, was born, and feels at home. I feel good here; I have a lot of support."

Where modern tennis is heading

"Modern tennis is increasingly moving towards intensity and ball speed. Today's players are not the classic Spanish players or classic clay specialists who lift the ball a lot and change the game significantly. They are very aggressive players, much more suited to hard courts. I think in the future, we will see players like Fonseca who hit the ball very hard. Surely, they have a good serve, return very well, and tend to steal time. So I believe we are heading in that direction. Surely, physical aspects and professionalism from much younger ages also play a role. This is my sixth year on the ATP tour, so I don't think I'm too young. I have seen my path and played with these players, being one of the first to join the tour. There was not that level of professionalism at that age. That has also improved. Tennis, especially in Italy, is experiencing great success."
