Lorenzo Musetti’s exceptional clay-court season has propelled him to his first French Open semi-final and is set to see him rise significantly in the ATP rankings, moving from No. 16 to at least No. 7. The Italian’s consistent performance underscores his breakout 2024 season.
After reaching a Masters 1000 final in Monte Carlo and semi-finals in Madrid and Rome, Musetti’s deep run in Paris has solidified his position among the tour’s elite. He is now just the fifth player since 1990 to reach the semi-finals or better at all three clay Masters 1000 events and the French Open in one year, a testament to his remarkable consistency.
Musetti now faces a formidable challenge against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals. A victory in that match could see him climb even higher, potentially reaching No. 4 in the live rankings, further cementing his rapid ascent in professional tennis.
