Lorenzo Musetti is enjoying a historic clay season, culminating in his first French Open semi-final appearance after a hard-fought victory over Frances Tiafoe. His consistent performance has seen him reach the semi-finals or better at all three clay Masters 1000 events and Roland Garros in one year, a rare achievement since 1990.
The 23-year-old Italian’s impressive run has been a testament to his significant leap forward during this clay-court swing, following a career-best 2024 season that included a Wimbledon semi-final and an Olympic bronze medal. His sustained success will see him make a substantial climb in the ATP rankings.
Musetti now faces a formidable challenge against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals, a match that promises to be a compelling test of his burgeoning talent and further cement his place among the elite.
