MELBOURNE (AUSTRALIA) (ITALPRESS) – An accident takes the road to Lorenzo Musetti at the door of the Australian Open semi-final. After winning the first two sets 6-4 6-3 against Novak Djokovic, the blue stopped for a thigh problem that required physiotherapist intervention. Musetti, visibly limited in the movements, returned to play, but chose to retire shortly after, under 3-1 in the third. In the semi-finals, Djokovic will compete against Jannik Sinner and Ben Shelton.
“I’m sorry for Lorenzo, today he was the best player in the field and I was ready to go home. In sports, it happened to me in the past. I hope you have a quick healing. It was very unfortunate, it should have been the winner today.” Novak Djokovic said that at the end of the game. “When you attack Musetti you never know what to expect, you can get a slice or a passer, or you can play with a high ball on my weak shot. I tried to do my best, I had blisters but nothing serious. I was just lucky,” added the ten-time Australian slam winner.
