The only other Italian medal in the sport was claimed by Uberto Morpurgo at the 1924 Games – and it also came in Paris, also was a bronze and also came in men’s singles. The 22-year-old Musetti is currently ranked No.16 and is having the most successful stretch of his career. He reached his first grand slam semi-final three weeks ago at Wimbledon before losing to Novak Djokovic. Musetti also was eliminated by Djokovic in the Olympic semi-finals on Friday, when Auger-Aliassime lost to Carlos Alcaraz. Djokovic meets Alcaraz on Sunday in a blockbuster match-up for the gold medal. Auger-Aliassime was trying to claim Canada’s first Olympics singles medal. He still will leave the Paris Games with a medal, though, because he teamed with Gabriela Dabrowski to earn the bronze in mixed doubles on Friday This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up #Musetti #breaks #100year #tennis #drought #Italy This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 0 Quote Link to comment https://hopzone.eu/forums/topic/87334-musetti-breaks-100-year-tennis-drought-for-italy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
