Lorenzo Musetti defeated Alexandre Muller 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday, securing a spot in the semifinals of the ATP event in Athens. This win keeps Musetti’s hopes alive to qualify for the season-ending ATP Finals.
Musetti will face American Sebastian Korda in the semifinals on Friday.
Ranked No. 9 in the world, Musetti must win the Athens tournament to surpass Felix Auger-Aliassime and claim the final spot for the ATP Finals in Turin next week.
“Whichever player qualifies will join a group featuring world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, and Ben Shelton.”
The top seed of the Athens event, world No. 5 Novak Djokovic, is also competing for a semifinal place. Djokovic, already qualified for Turin, is scheduled to play Nuno Borges later on Thursday.
“The 38-year-old Djokovic has been drawn in a group with Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, and Alex de Minaur at the ATP Finals.”
Summary: Lorenzo Musetti’s semifinal berth in Athens keeps his ATP Finals qualification hopes in play, facing Sebastian Korda next as top contenders including Djokovic also compete for success.
