Medvedev faces Lorenzo Musetti in the fourth round. The Italian recorded his 150th tour-level win with a 6-4, 6-3 victory against Brandon Nakashima.

Musetti is 20-4 on clay since last July, highlighted by winning bronze at the Paris Olympics in 2024 and reaching his first Masters 1000 final in Monte-Carlo in April. Backed by a vocal home crowd on Sunday, Musetti pulled Nakashima from corner to corner with his variety and explosive play.

Top 10 singles star Musetti and World No. 44 Sonego let slip a 5/1 lead in the Match Tie-break before reeling off the four final points of the first-round encounter to down the Berrettini brothers.

Awaiting the home favourites in the second round at the Foro Italico will be second seeds Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten, who eased past Flavio Cobolli and Sebastian Korda 6-3, 6-3 for their first Rome win on their second appearance as a team.

Rome — May 13

Lorenzo Musetti earned one of the most unique victories of his career on Tuesday at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome, where he finally overcame Daniil Medvedev and a two-hour, 52-minute rain delay to book his spot in the quarter-finals.

At 7-5, 5-4, 30/30, the Italian was on the verge of victory before the heavens opened in the Italian capital. With the rain pouring down, fans rushed for cover while Musetti and Medvedev continued for one more point, which the Italian won with a deft drop shot.

However, with Musetti on match point, play was then suspended by the chair umpire due to the rain at 4:38 p.m. local time. After a two-hour, 52-minute delay, Musetti returned to court and immediately won the one point he needed with a forehand winner to seal a 7-5, 6-4 win.


A finalist in Monte-Carlo and a semi-finalist in Madrid this year, Musetti has won 21 of his past 25 matches on clay and is playing at a career-high No. 9 in the PIF ATP Rankings this week. The eighth seed, who is the first Italian in history to play at all three clay-court Masters 1000 quarter-finals in the same season, will next meet Alexander Zverev or Arthur Fils.

It All Adds Up

The 2023 Rome champion Medvedev defeated Cameron Norrie and Alexei Popyrin in straight sets to reach the fourth round but was unable to cope with Musetti’s variety on Grand Stand Arena.

The 23-year-old Musetti rallied from a break down in the first set, hit with heavy spin to pull the 10th seed from corner to corner and was more consistent in the baseline exchanges, committing 15 unforced errors to 26 from Medvedev. Musetti has now reached five quarter-finals at ATP Masters 1000 events.
