Lorenzo Musetti has many bright moments this season, but certainly winning the Davis Cup with the Italian team is a moment that will forever remain engraved in his memory. Although Jannik Sinner could not help the Italians in the final match, Musetti proved to be perhaps the most important figure on his team, helping the team to win an extremely important trophy.
Lorenzo Musetti was also somewhat surprisingly chosen as the sportsman of the year in Italy according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
During the Gazzetta Sports Awards evening ceremony, the famous tennis player answered various questions that also concerned other tennis players. The 23-year-old believesthat Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard is the player with the best serve on the ATP Tour, but the question concerning Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner caused the most attention.
As expected, the journalists asked him who is the better tennis player, and Musetti had a slightly political answer, saying that both have their advantages.

In his opinion, Alcaraz has the best forehand and volley, while Jannik has the best backhand and return.
However, when he was asked directly who is currently the best player for himon the ATP Tour, Musetti said that it is Jannik Sinner, although many are skeptical, suggestingthat Musetti is siding with his compatriot.
Great season for him
His season was filled with successes, but these recognitions can be an additional motivation for Musetti, who wants to make an even bigger step forward next year and further advance in the ATP rankings.
His head-to-head record against Sinner and Carlos Alcarazis not particularly successful, but it remains to be seen whether in the future Lorenzowill be able to create serious problems for this tennis duo.
This is the time of year that the young tennis player will use to analyze where he made mistakes and possibly determine what the next steps are, in order to show his full potential in 2026.
