It is everything I have dreamed of.”Ĭerundolo will aim to continue his fairytale run when he faces second-seeded German Alexander Zverev or Norway’s Casper Ruud in the semi-finals in Florida. I didn’t see anything wrong and I hope he is ok, he is a great player. “When I was serving at 3-1, 30/0, I saw him bending down. “I didn’t know anything,” Cerundolo said in his on-court interview. The 23-year-old earned standout victories over Tallon Griekspoor, Reilly Opelka (second-set retirement), Gael Monfils and Frances Tiafoe en route to his match with Sinner. Cerundolo is the lowest-ranked men's singles semi-finalist in tournament history (1985-2019, 2021-22) and the first player to reach the singles semi-finals on his Masters 1000 debut since Jerzy Janowicz advanced to the final at the Rolex Paris Masters in 2012.

Musetti reached the last-16 with his first five-set win over fellow Italian Marco Cecchinato, the man who defeated Djokovic at Roland Garros in 2018.Īlthough Djokovic is yet to drop a set in the tournament, Musetti is hoping to serve up a few surprises on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Nadal, the 13-time Roland Garros champion, is well aware of Sinner’s qualities, having played him in the quarter-finals last year, when the Italian had a set point - the only man to get close to getting a set off the Spanish great.
“They’re very different players, but I’m sure they’ll play in Grand Slam finals in the future." “Sinner is very cold, very calculated, in a good way. He’s more of an artist, the other a machine, with a very fast rhythm. “(Musetti is) very different to Sinner, nothing like him," Moya told the ATP Tour’s website.
