Lorenzo Musetti Stuns Alexander Zverev in Vienna Open Quarterfinals

In a thrilling quarterfinal match at the 2024 Vienna Open, Lorenzo Musetti pulled off a significant upset by defeating the top-seeded Alexander Zverev. The match, which took place on October 25, saw Musetti come from behind to win 2-6, 7-6(5), 6-4.

Musetti’s victory was marked by his resilience and strategic play, particularly in the second set tiebreaker where he managed to turn the tide of the match. Despite Zverev’s strong start and a set lead, Musetti’s ability to adapt and capitalize on key moments proved decisive.

This win sets Musetti up for a semifinal match against Jack Draper, who has been performing well on indoor hard courts. The victory also boosts Musetti’s confidence on hard courts and could have implications for Italy‘s singles lineup in the upcoming Davis Cup.

The match highlighted Zverev’s ongoing struggles with closing out points and converting break opportunities, issues that have plagued him in several recent matches. Zverev’s loss follows other tough defeats in his home countries, including losses to Garin in Munich and Hurkacz in Halle.

The Vienna Open, running from October 21 to October 27, continues to provide exciting matchups as the tournament progresses towards its final stages.
