Will Musetti become a stepping stone for the Alcalas Rome Masters?

At 9:30 tonight, Spanish all-round fighter Alcalas, who participated in the Rome Masters for the second time and entered the semi-finals of the Rome Masters for the first time, will face the challenge of Musetti, an Italian SLR genius who entered the top ten in the world for the first time in his career before the Rome Masters.

Previously, in the Monte Carlo Masters final on April 13, Musetti unexpectedly won the first set with a score of 6:3, but unexpectedly suffered a right thigh injury in the second set, and quickly lost two sets in a row with a score of 1:6 and 0:6, achieving Alcaras' first Monte Carlo Masters champion and the sixth Masters champion in his career. Will Musetti become a stepping stone for the Alcalas Rome Masters tonight?

After winning four consecutive games in the Rome Masters, Alcalas, who returned from injury, made the final warm-up for the 2025 French Open.

The right thigh adductor muscle injury suffered in the final of the ATP500 Barcelona on April 20. After three weeks of treatment and recovery, after four games in the Rome Masters, it was completely fine. Alcalas can devote himself to the game.

Alcalas is quite confident in hitting the ball, dares to play aggressively, is good at accelerating and changing the rhythm, has great power in the bottom line of front-line sprinting, and suddenly makes small balls unpredictable, and frequent interceptions in front of the net wins. What is particularly encouraging is that after learning from his mistakes, Alcalas was able to let go of his winning and losing heart and enjoy the game. As he revenges the fifth place in the quarter-finals in the fifth set in the world, and the British left hand said: "The most important thing I do is not to think about those hits, nor do I think about the things I lost to him in the semi-finals of the Indian Wells Masters in March, but to do things that make me happy on the court. I try to play fast pace, change the rhythm in time, and combine bottom-line sprints, sudden balls, and Internet interceptions. This is what I like to do. This is also different from the past."

However, Alcalas's serving status is still relatively struggling, with the overall goal rate, first-time scoring rate and second-time scoring rate, especially the goal rate and first-time scoring rate, which has actually changed from 70% in the first game, until just over 60% in the fourth game. This is certainly because the opponent is getting stronger and he is doing better in receiving and serving, and because Alcalas himself is in poor service condition, he gives his opponent many opportunities to receive and serve. Alcalas's coaching team must attach great importance to this, strengthen serving training, and make full preparations for defending champion Alcalas to play in the 2025 French Open.

Tonight, Alcalas's opponent Musetti has stronger clay and better competitive state. Born in March 2002, Musetti held a right hand and back-shot with one hand. He took the Swiss king of football Federer as an example and gradually developed a style of idol-like play, with elegant hitting and skillful skills. Especially single-back hitting balls are good at changing rhythms, and can both draw and cut balls. It is incredible (this said by American tennis celebrity Courier).

This is actually another Olympic tennis medal that Italy won after 100 years. On June 26, 2023, Musetti ranked 15th in the world. At the beginning of the 2025 season, Musetti was trapped by a right leg injury, and Musetti performed in a mediocre manner. But after entering the clay season, Musetti was in great shape and made great progress in the game. He reached the Masters final for the first time in his career and won the runner-up of the Monte Carlo Masters. After being on the ATP500 Barcelona stop due to injury, he made it to the semi-finals in the Madrid Masters. On May 5, Musetti's world ranking reached ninth place at a career high, ranking in the top ten immortals in the world for the first time in his career.

Mussetti continued to perform well in the Rome Masters in Italy, defeating the 2023 Championship champion, Russian Tsar Medvedev and the 2024 Championship champion, German chariot Zverev, showing excellent form and strong confidence.

Now he is quite resilient on the court, working hard every point, and never giving up easily. In the first five games of the Monte Carlo Masters, Musetti defeated his opponents in four of them, including the defending champion, Greek pirate Tsitsipas and Australian Hare de Minal. In the second set of the Monte Carlo Masters final, Musetti suddenly suffered a right thigh injury, but he ignored the coach's advice to withdraw from the game and insisted on finishing the game. This was not only a respect for the audience, but also a performance of tenacious and tenacious will.

However, Musetti remained calm in the face of danger, saving three break points and inventory in a row, and then saving one break point and inventory in a row.
