Lorenzo Musetti On Life As A Top-5 Tennis Star | The Sit-Down

When Lorenzo Musetti joined Viv and Matt during AO 2026, he was flying. The Italian had entered the event as a new top-five star after his run to the final in Hong Kong to begin the season, and continued his vein of form through to the last eight in Melbourne. In his first Australian Open quarterfinal, he led Novak Djokovic two sets to love before injury intervened. Musetti has now reached the quarterfinals at all four majors, as his hardcourt game evolves to match the success he has already experienced on clay and grass courts. The 23-year-old discusses that evolution, the vintage quality of his game — anchored by a one-handed backhand that draws rave reviews — and the many highlights he has already enjoyed in his burgeoning career.
