Press Conference

J. SINNER/L. Musetti

6-1, 6-4, 6-2

THE MODERATOR: Lorenzo, tremendous tournament. Congratulations on a great run.

LORENZO MUSETTI: Thanks.

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Just curious, how do you feel you played today, and what are your thoughts?

LORENZO MUSETTI: Well, I feel like, of course, the first set I was a little bit too much in a rush. I think it was not easy for me to find the right feelings with the ball at the beginning, because you know, I never played on night session so far. So I think it was kind of different from what I've played in the past matches during the day.

But, of course, I felt that Jannik was on another level, I would say, in many, many occasions. Of course, I had to -- the second set, which was, let's say, the best set so far, is the set where I served better and where I had more chances. You know, I had one break point that I didn't take it. I think with an opponent like him you have to take the few chances that he gives you, and I was not able to do it.

Q. You're very familiar with him, but this is the first match you've played against him in two years. How different does he feel as a player in that period?

LORENZO MUSETTI: I mean, of course, a lot of things changed from our last meeting. Both we grew up, but of course him, he became probably the -- I never played, honestly, someone who put me on this kind of rush in the rally, and I didn't have many chances on the rally, and he was always leading the rally. So that was kind of a bad feeling, of course, when I was playing against him.

Of course, pretty impressed by Jannik's performance today. I think he served really well, and he was, you know, pushing me to my limit. Of course, he's better than me, and he showed. But I'm happy that I played against him to understand even the things that I have to improve.

So hopefully soon I can have a test again.
