Novak Djokovic was expected from the test bench, but at the moment the Serbian champion, twenty-one time winner of Grand Slam titles, is too much for Lorenzo Musetti. The young blue talent was the protagonist of an excellent tournament in Paris, but he surrendered in the quarter-finals against a too strong Novak Djokovic.
Musetti appeared compliant and certainly not in the best version of him while Djokovic controlled the race without even making an effort. The first set ended 6-0, a sound lesson that lasted only 24 minutes of play.

In the second set there was more struggle, Lorenzo even went ahead by a break but the Serbian recovered immediately and closed the games in a short time.
A 6-0; 6-3 that leaves little doubt and closes the Italian’s tournament. Djokovic remains the big favorite. Here is the match point:
