Lorenzo Musetti on Monday joined
Jannik Sinner and Jasmine Paolini in the quarter'finals at
Wimbledon, the first time since Roland Garros in 1948 that Italy
have had three players in this stage of a slam.
World number 22 Musetti beat Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi
Perricard (No. 58 Atp) 4-6 6-3 6-2.
Wimbledon 2024 is the seventh Slam with two Italians in the
quarters in men's singles.
World number one Sinner will face Russian Daniil Medvedev in the
quarter-finals of Wimbledon after easing past 14th-seeded
American Ben Shelton 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(9) on Sunday.
It will be a rematch of this year's Australian Open final when
22-year-old Sinner came from two sets down to win his first
Grand Slam title.
In the women's singles, Paolini's is also in the last eight
after American Madison Keys retired hurt while set for victory
in the final set of their clash on Sunday.
She faces another American, Emma Navarro, in the quarters.
