Nothing to do for Lorenzo Musetti. The 23-year-old Carrarino wins the first set but Carlos Alcaraz come back and wins 3-6, 6-1, 6-0 the “Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters”, the first ATP 1000 on the clay of the season, at the Country Club in the Principality of Monaco, with a total prize pool of 6,128,940 euros.
In the last set, the injury to the right leg of Musetti, who closes the match practically from detention, decisive in the last set. Immediately Break Alcaraz and counterbreak Musetti, then Lorenzo begins to turn on, is behind the Spaniard and climbed him, 3-1.
So a series of services held with a fair authority and on the first opportunity Musetti strikes: 6-3, with a second and a drop shot of applause in the game. 14 free errors for the Spaniard say a lot, but obviously not everything, of a set played with great personality of the carrine.
It is all another music in the second set, because Alcaraz climbs level and climbs up to 5-0 to the sound of blows and play, while Musetti – beyond a final jolt – cannot prevent the match from dragging to the third set. 6-1 for the Spanish champion who places the extension also at the start of the third set: to complicate all the injury to the right thigh of Musetti. Inside the doctors but Lorenzo can’t do it. Alcaraz triumphs, what a pity for muzzles.
Musetti: I hoped to play it until the end
“I’m sorry not to have finished the game at the best, I hoped to play it until the end, but I don’t want to remove anything from Carlos who deserved the victory.” So Lorenzo Musetti at the end of the final lost in Montecarlo against Carlos Alcaraz, conditioned by an injury at the dawn of the third and decisive set. “Thanks for this week. I will try to recover to take revenge, perhaps already next year,” added the blue.
