After six match points and a terrific battle, Lorenzo Musetti won the ATP 500 tournament in Hamburg. An even more important triumph given the caliber of the opponent, that Carlos Alcaraz labeled by everyone as the new talent of world tennis.
This time it was Musetti the phenomenon and the blue took home the first title of his very young career. Alcaraz tried to resist until the end, but Musetti showed a disarming continuity and a variety of shots that destroyed the certainties of the Murcian tennis player.
Great satisfaction and above all a great reaction with Alcaraz who canceled five match points to the Italian before winning the second set. Musetti did not give up in the third and reacted well, thus winning a well-deserved victory.
During the match there was a point that caused a lot of discussion. Towards the end of the second set Musetti scored a point after the ball had double bounced in his court. It was a very important point that Alcaraz lost, but it must be remembered that in the end it was not decisive as Carlos won the second set and Musetti won in the third set.
Great triumph and great satisfaction for Musetti, who, from tomorrow, will be the new number 31 in the world.
