Lorenzo Musetti on how his family and loved ones pushed him to improve
During the on-court interview following his quarterfinal win at Wimbledon 2024, Lorenzo Musetti looked back at the challenging year and how he overcame the string of defeats. The Olympic bronze medalist continued to work hard despite significant life changes such as balancing his girlfriend's pregnancy and fatherhood.
"It has been almost an year, really challenging, with a lot of new experiences, with pregnancy of my girlfriend, and becoming a father, a lot of things happened and changed so probably I needed more time to find balance on everything but I am really happy because I never stopped working and never stopped believing," Musetti said (at 3:07).
The 22-year-old thanked his team, family, and loved ones for their support, stating their encouragement motivated him to improve.
"My team, my family, the people around, people that I love and that I care, pushing me to do better and these are the results," he added.
Musetti holds a 34-22 win-loss record for the 2024 season, with his standout performances being semi-final appearances at Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics. The World No. 19 will next compete at the Chengdu Open, starting on September 17.
