Musetti Reaches Second SF Of Season In Bastad

Lorenzo Musetti earned a comeback victory on Friday to reach his second tour-level semi-final of the season at the Nordea Open. The Italian moved past Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.

Competing on the clay at the ATP 250 event in Bastad, Musetti improved as the match went on, moving freely and demonstrating great touch to pull Misolic around the court throughout the two-hour and six-minute clash.

Musetti, who survived a three-set scare in his first-round match against countryman Matteo Arnaldi, now holds a 14-9 record on clay this year, with his best result a run to the semi-finals at the ATP 500 in Barcelona.

The third seed is chasing his third tour-level title and first of the season in Bastad. He will continue his quest against top seed Casper Ruud or Sebastian Ofner.
