Musetti survives Alcaraz comeback to win maiden ATP title

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.

The 20-year-old saw five match points come and go in the second set before eventually securing a 6-4, 6-7 (6/8), 6-4 victory.

Alcaraz, who will be the youngest player to break into the world's top five since Rafael Nadal in 2005 on Monday, missed out on a sixth ATP title as he lost a final for the first time.

The Spanish teenager looked to be heading for a straight-sets defeat, but saved two match points when Musetti served for the title when leading 5-4 in the second set.

The world number 62 missed another three match points in the tie-break, but finally got over the line at the sixth time of asking 50 minutes later.
