Tennis: Musetti beats Shelton to set up Alcaraz clash

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 26 - Italy's Lorenzo Musetti served up an excellent performance to beat American Ben Shelton at the Miami Open late on Monday and set up a last-16 clash with Carlos Alcaraz.
    The 22-year-old came back from 3-0 down in the first set and 4-1 down in the second to notch the 18th victory of his career over a top-20-ranked opponent.
    He joins Matteo Arnaldi and world number three Jannik Sinner in the last 16, making it the first time three Italians have got so far in a men's singles Masters 1000 tournament on hard courts.
    "It was my best performance of the last few months," Musetti said.
    "I feel like I did everything right and found the real Lorenzo on the court, in terms of maturity, decision-making and physicality.
    "I felt good and I took on a player whose characteristics are perhaps the prototype of a player that I don't like.
    "I enjoyed it, I didn't make many unforced errors, not many bad decisions... I had fun". (ANSA).
