Turin, 10 Nov. (LaPresse) – "I didn't have any cramps today. Of course, my legs felt quite heavy, and I felt slow when I came off my serve, for example. Taylor responded very well today and put a lot of pressure on me in the baseline rallies. Physically, I felt a little slower in everything I did, even in terms of reflexes. In terms of ball perception, I didn't feel it very well. He hit really hard, which caused me problems." Lorenzo Musetti said this at a press conference after his defeat against Taylor Fritz in his debut at the ATP Finals. "Today he surprised me quite positively, I think he played a really good match, apart from the start when I had a few chances from the baseline, he put a lot of pressure on me, I struggled to adapt to his speed, I never felt like I was in control of the game, and even on the few occasions when I was, he served very well and always managed to make a very good transition from defence to offence ,‘ continued the Italian, analysing the match. ’What surprised me most was the fact that he was very consistent throughout the match, made very few unforced errors and conceded very little in response. I knew his serve wasn't easy, but he let himself go a little in the first two points of the last game, then he saved himself by serving very well. I knew it was a tough match, I know he really likes these conditions, given last year's result."
