Lorenzo Musetti Powers into First Grand Slam Quarterfinal at Wimbledon

Posted : 08 July 2024

Lorenzo Musetti advanced to his first Grand Slam quarterfinal with a hard-fought victory over Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, triumphing 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 on Court No. 2. The Italian, seeded 25th, showcased his grass court skills honed from a recent runner-up finish at Queen's Club, breaking his opponent five times throughout the match despite Mpetshi Perricard's initial strong serving performance.

 

Mpetshi Perricard, known for his formidable serve with 115 aces at Wimbledon, claimed the first set with a single break but faltered as Musetti gained momentum in the subsequent sets. Musetti seized an early break in the third set, consolidating his advantage as the Frenchman struggled to maintain consistency.

 

The 20-year-old Musetti displayed a commanding performance, hitting 23 winners against just eight unforced errors, contrasting sharply with Mpetshi Perricard's 42 unforced errors. Reflecting on his milestone victory, Musetti expressed emotional gratitude, stating, "It's tough for me to get emotional but I think today I will. I've been dreaming of this moment since I was a kid." He now looks forward to a challenging quarterfinal clash against either Alexander Zverev or Taylor Fritz for a shot at the semifinals.
