At this year's ATP Monte Carlo Masters, tennis got thrilling as Italy's Lorenzo Musetti fought back to book his spot in the second round. The match was a rollercoaster ride! 🎢
Musetti started off under pressure, as China's World No.67 Buyunchaokete showcased dazzling net skills and even pulled off a tweener shot to claim the first set 6-4. But the resilient Italian bounced back, seizing the second set 7-5 after capitalizing on a misdirected drop shot. On match point, Musetti wrapped up the third set 6-3 with a well-executed rally, proving he’s a force on clay.
Next up, Musetti will face Czech World No.28 Jiri Lehecka—a challenging rematch given their past encounters.
In other exciting action, Russia's Daniil Medvedev edged past Karen Khachanov in a fiercely contested three-set match (7-5, 6-4, 6-4). The 29-year-old, aiming for his first title since the Rome Masters two years ago, is back in winning form on clay and is set to take on Frenchman Alexandre Muller next.
Adding more spice to the tournament, Chile's Alejandro Tabilo pulled off a stunning comeback against three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, winning 1-6, 7-5, 7-5. Tabilo now gears up for a high-octane clash against Serbia's Novak Djokovic.
