What Is Lorenzo Musetti’s Playing Style and How Does He Fit Into Italian Tennis?
Musetti’s one‑handed backhand sets him apart. He is a clay‑court specialist by nature, but has worked hard to improve on faster surfaces. In 2025–2026 his hard‑court record improved from 16–17 to 26–17, showing his adaptability.
Italy has a strong generation of tennis players: Jannik Sinner (world No. 2), Matteo Berrettini, and Lorenzo Sonego. Musetti is often the third or fourth Italian in the rankings, but his consistency at a high level—reaching four finals and four semifinals in the last ten months—proves he belongs among the elite.
If Musetti stays healthy, he is projected to settle in the Top 15 with occasional deep Grand Slam runs. A Grand Slam quarterfinal (already achieved at the 2026 Australian Open) is a realistic baseline, with a semifinal as the next target.
What Do Official Sources Say About Lorenzo Musetti?
“Heir to a certain Italian elegance, Lorenzo Musetti is one of the last members of the world elite to play with a one‑handed backhand.”
– Roland Garros official website
