Italian tennis player Lorenzo Musetti secured a spot in the men's singles semifinal after defeating German player Alexander Zverev with a score of 7-5, 7-5. Zverev, who clinched the singles gold medal in Tokyo, faced a setback in Paris as he was unable to progress further in the French Open, having lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the final at the same stadium earlier this summer.
In contrast, Musetti has been showcasing a strong performance. He reached the semifinals at Wimbledon this year and advanced to the third round of the French Open. His victory over Zverev marks another significant achievement in his career.
Musetti's next challenge will be against the winner of the quarterfinal match between Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas, scheduled to commence at 1 p.m. ET. The outcome of this match will determine Musetti's opponent in the upcoming semifinal clash.
