“Meaningless comparison”: even the Italian knows full well that comparing him to Sinner is something that really has no chance of standing at this time
Lorenzo Musetti will play in Turin these days, and he showed up as usual charged at the press conference. In the meantime, he made an announcement about his physical condition: “The problems in Rome I have overcome, it was only a stomach virus, which unfortunately debilitated me right on the eve of the debut. That’s why there was no.
“But now I feel good. The season is not half over yet; I hope I can take good satisfaction from it. We are working to try to lose less court on the backhand side, and to improve the attitude on the court. I’m so hungry to get back to where I think my tennis can be.” Loaded then, as usual. But also very realistic when asked a question about Sinner.
“With Sinner, the comparison is meaningless. “
“The comparison with Jannik has always been there,” he replied to those who asked him, precisely, about an issue that has held much sway especially in years past. But with the honesty of a great person, Musetti continued in this way.
“Comparing myself to him now makes little sense: he is almost No. 1 in the world, has won a Slam and has had more important experiences than me. Criticism of me has always been there, even often gratuitous, but that happens a little bit to everyone, I’m definitely not the only one. Then on some attitudes, on nervousness on the field, I am the first to be self-critical. I recognize the problem and it already seems to me a step forward.” Finally also a passage on Roland Garros in Paris, which last year saw him star by pushing all the way to the round of 16. “I’m not going there to defend last year’s but to improve.” Honest and combative, as he should be. Come on Lorenzo.
