Lorenzo Musetti eventually shook off a persistent Carlos Alcaraz in the German Open final to beat the Spaniard 6-4 6-7(6) 6-4 in Hamburg. Alcaraz saved five championship points in the second set to deny a straight-sets Musetti victory after the Italian won the opener.
Italian youngster Lorenzo Musetti held off Carlos Alcaraz in a dramatic final to win his first ATP Tour title at the clay-court event in Hamburg on Sunday.
Italian youngster Lorenzo Musetti reached his first ATP Tour final on Saturday with a straight-sets victory over Francisco Cerundolo at the Hamburg clay-court event. The 20-year-old won 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) to set up a final against world number six Carlos Alcaraz. "It means a lot for me," Musetti said. "It's a surprise for me because I was not playing my best tennis last week (in Bastad), so I didn't expect to be in the final here."
Carlos Alcaraz will become the youngest player to reach the top five of the ATP rankings since Rafael Nadal in 2005 after powering into his fifth ATP final of the season in Hamburg on Saturday.
