Jan-Lennard Struff Upsets Lorenzo Musetti in Paris Masters Second Round

In a significant upset at the Rolex Paris Masters, German tennis player Jan-Lennard Struff defeated Italian Lorenzo Musetti, the 16th seed, in the second round. The match, held at the Accor Arena on October 29, 2024, saw Struff secure a straight-set victory with a score of 6-4, 6-2.

Musetti had entered the Paris Masters on a high note following an impressive run at the Vienna Open, where he notably defeated former champion Alexander Zverev. However, he was unable to carry this momentum into the Paris tournament against Struff.

The win marks a significant advancement for Struff in the tournament, while Musetti’s early exit will be a disappointment after his recent successes. This match highlights the competitive nature of the ATP tour, where upsets can occur at any time.

The head-to-head record between Struff and Musetti now stands in favor of Struff, who has previously beaten Musetti in their encounters since 2022.
