Rome, 3 September (LaPresse) – "It's always special to watch a match like this between two Italians. Given their current form, it's a shame that it's coming so soon; it could have been later. But we are experiencing a magical moment, and it is not to be taken for granted. Musetti has made a mental leap; he always stays in the game, and Jannik always wants to improve. They have two different styles, so it will be a wonderful match. How nice to have them together on the national team." These were the words of Italian tennis captain Filippo Volandri to Sky Sport a few hours before the all-Italian derby in the quarter-finals of the US Open between Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Musetti.
