Lorenzo Musetti (born 3 March 2002) is an Italian professional tennis player. He has a career-high singles ranking of world No. 82. Musetti trains at La Spezia TC and Tirrenia.

Career

He has achieved a career-high ITF juniors ranking of 1 in the world on 10 June 2019. On 26 January 2019 Musetti defeated Emilio Nava to win the 2019 Australian Open boys' singles title.

He made his ATP main draw debut by qualifying at the 2020 Dubai Tennis Championships where he lost in the first round. His second main draw tour level match came after qualifying at the 2020 Rome Masters, where he defeated three-time Grand Slam champion, Stan Wawrinka, in straight sets in the first round and became the first player born in 2002 to win an ATP match. Furthermore, in Sardinia, after receiving a wildcard, he reached his first ATP semifinal, where he retired against eventual champion Laslo Đere after trailing 1–4 in the third set.

Musetti is the youngest player to break into the top 100 for the first time in his career by reaching the semifinals of the 2021 Mexican Open in Acapulco after going through qualifying. It was here he had his first top 10 win against world no. 9 Diego Schwartzman in 3 sets. He also beat Frances Tiafoe and 5th seed Grigor Dimitrov to break into the top 100 and reach his second ATP semifinal, and first at a 500 level. The 19-year-old was the third-youngest semi-finalist in the tournament history. Only Xavier Malisse (1998) and Rafael Nadal (2005) reached the final four in Acapulco at a younger age. In the semifinal, he lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets.

During COVID crisis the Director of the Corriere della Sera Aldo Cazzullo criticized the choice of Musetti (and other young tennis players such as Matteo Berrettini and Jannik Sinner) to move their residency to Monaco for financial benefits. In 2021, he gave an interview for the fashion magazine Vanity Teen, after taking his first steps on the ATP circuit.
