Does Lorenzo Musetti have a son? All you need to know about the Italian's relationship with his girlfriend Veronica Confalonieri
Lorenzo Musetti registered the biggest win of his career as he defeated Taylor Fritz in a thrilling match at Wimbledon. The Italian has made it to the semifinal at the SW19 for the first time and is set to face Novak Djokovic. The 22-year-old was able to share this special moment with his girlfriend Veronica Confalonieri, who is present in London supporting Musetti.
Lorenzo Musetti and Veronica Confalonieri made their relationship official in 2022 through Instagram. The couple are often spotted together and regularly post updates about their dating life on social media platforms.
Confalonieri is a professional graphic designer and works for Sky Sports Italy. She also does some modeling and often promotes various brands on social media. The couple are thought to have met first while working at Sky Sports, but these reports remain unconfirmed.
Musetti and Confaloneiri welcomed their first child in March 2024. The couple took to Instagram to announce the news to the world and were met with many congratulatory messages, including from Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Bublik, and Lorenzo Sonego. The couple have named their child Ludovico Musetti.
After his Adelaide Open match against Jordan Thompson in January, Musetti admitted that his goal this year was to be a good father.
“The main goal for this season is to try and be a nice father," Musetti said.
Musetti would be delighted with his Wimbledon progress as he entered his first-ever Grand Slam semifinal. With his girlfriend and child watching, the Italian will be keen to keep his Wimbledon run going when he faces Djokovic in the semifinal on Friday.
Lorenzo Musetti will face Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semi-final
Lorenzo Musetti will face seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semifinal. The Italian stunned Taylor Fritz to book a place in the final four at the SW19, while Alex de Minaur's withdrawal due to injury meant that Djokovic eased his way into the semi-finals.
Djokovic has the upper hand against Musetti in their head-to-head. The Serbian has won 5 matches while losing just once against the Italian. Musetti's only win against Djokovic came at the Monte Carlo Masters in 2023 when the Italian won in three sets.
Their latest meeting came at Roland Garros when the Serbian was pushed to five sets. Djokovic trailed by two sets to one before mounting a memorable comeback to win the match. The duo have never faced off at Wimbledon.
Djokovic's participation was in question due to knee surgery but the Serbian has looked back to his best throughout the competition. The Serbian had to withdraw from the French Open and did not compete in any tournament before Wimbledon.
Musetti is one of the most in-form players in the world and will be full of confidence going into the game against Djokovic. Beating Djokovic at the All England Club is a tough ask, but Musetti will be keen to continue his good run at the SW19. With his girlfriend and child watching him live, the Italian could be on the verge of a historic achievement when he takes to the court on Friday.
