Lorenzo Musetti Admits He 'Needs A Miracle' Ahead Of Group-Stage Clash With Carlos Alcaraz At ATP Finals

Lorenzo Musetti hopes for a miracle to happen in the competition when the Italian tennis player will lock horns against Carlos Alcaraz in the group-stage clash. The Italian has acknowledged that the match against Alcaraz would be the toughest.

Lorenzo Musetti Looking For A Big Miracle Against Carlos Alcaraz

Following the match, Lorenzo Musetti expressed confidence in his work and is content that he could reach the semi-final. However, securing a win in the next match-up will depend on his performance, as the Italian would face Carlos Alcaraz.

Musetti expects to remain the crowd favourite and is hopeful for a miracle to happen in the competition against Alcaraz. However, Lorenzo has also identified a spot, saying that Carlos isn't comfortable on hard courts.

"It will be the toughest match in the group. I know him very well because we have already faced each other several times, including this season. I'm sure of one thing ahead of the match.

"I will be the crowd favorite, and I hope they can help me pull off a miracle. Carlos does not feel as comfortable on this surface as on clay. However, it's still very hard to beat him," Lorenzo Musetti said.
