Lorenzo Musetti has achieved a rare feat, becoming just the fifth player since the ATP was formed in 1990 to reach the semi-finals or better at all three clay Masters 1000 events (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome) and the French Open in one year. This historic achievement underscores his exceptional breakout 2024 season.
Musetti secured his spot in the French Open semi-finals with a hard-fought victory over Frances Tiafoe, continuing a consistent run of form on clay that has seen him reach a Masters 1000 final and multiple semi-finals. This deep run in Paris will solidify his rising ATP ranking.
The 23-year-old Italian now faces defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a highly anticipated semi-final clash, a match that will further test his burgeoning talent and could propel him even higher in the live ATP rankings.
