Mattia Bellucci instead leaves the scene: beaten by the Canadian Diallo 7-6, 6-4. He also returns to the field at Indian Wells Lorenzo Musetti (against the Hungarian Marton Fucsovicsa solid opponent who will immediately represent an interesting test to evaluate the Italian’s form. after more than a month since the last appearance, which coincided with the painful withdrawal in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open against Novak Djokovic. On that occasion the blue was ahead by two sets and seemed to have the match under control, before a thigh adductor problem forced him to abandon the match in the third set. Thinking back to that moment, Musetti told a Sky Sports: “It wasn’t easy to digest such a situation. However, I also used that match to find ideas that we are working on to improve my game. Clearly the sensations between training and matches change and that will be the real difficulty“he explained.”However, I feel good and ready physically. In physical terms I have very good sensations. I don’t think even the team expected such a quick recovery. We worked a lot and I also regenerated a little. Let’s hope to see an even better version of Lorenzo“.
Cobolli’s hopes
And then there is Flavio Cobolli, the Roman is fresh from the victory in Acapulco and presents himself at Indian Wells with great enthusiasm, in the first round he will compete with Miomir Kecmanovic. The Tuscan will try to exploit all the confidence gained in Mexico to obtain a positive result also in the first 1000 of the season in California, which will be immediately followed by a second in Miami. In 2025 the blue has accumulated very few points in the Sunshine Double (plus the Phoenix Challenger) and has the possibility of further increasing his tally in the standings, in which he occupies a splendid 15th position. “This year they changed the balls, they are the same as in Acapulco, and I feel good and calm. I like the courts, they are quite slow, and I feel good about them. MI trained with Lorenzo (Musetti ed.) and it’s always a privilege, we are together a lot. We just finished playing Play before coming here for the interviews, we’re having a great time. When we have to be on the pitch, everyone thinks of themselves and we do the best for ourselves. However, I feel part of this journey. Obviously Sinner and Musetti are leading us. There are small details that you never stop improving. I’m at a point where I still have a lot of room for improvement, I see it and feel it in training. We are working well, I definitely have to continue like this by listening to the people close to me. The most important thing for me is to also find results in the bigger tournaments and we hope that I can get here already.”
