FIRST SET
12:38 Warm-up begins. In just over three minutes off to the challenge with the German in the service.
12:35 Lorenzo Musetti and Yannick Hanfmann finally enter the field.
12:31 The ball boys and line judges enter the field. Only the chair judge and the two protagonists of the match are missing.
12:28 Fundamental match for the Tuscan, who has the opportunity to exploit the void in the scoreboard left by the Iberian Carreno Busta.
12:24 On pitch number 6, anticipation is growing. The players will presumably leave the dressing rooms at 12.30.
12.20 In case of success, Musetti in the sixteenths would find another German, or the winner of the derby between Altmaier and Otte. We recall that the Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta withdrew due to injury.
12.16 In fact, the previous match between Munar and Griekspoor has already ended, with the Dutchman retiring after losing the first set 7-6.
12:15 Good morning Friends of OA Sport. The match has been brought forward, there is little left to go.
Good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE text of the second round match of the ATP Masters 1000 in Madrid which will see Lorenzo Musetti opposite the German Yannick Hanfmann. It will be the third direct confrontation between the two, with the blue prevailing in the quarterfinals of the ATP of Sardinia 2020, after having succumbed to the Challenger of Todi in the same season. The winner of the match will find in the third round one between Daniel Altmaier and Oscar Otte. German derby formed after the withdrawal of the Spaniard Pablo Carreno-Busta.
Musetti, a twenty-one year old from Carrara, shows up for the appointment after having finally rediscovered the feeling with the European red clay after the negative South American parenthesis. Hoisted up to the quarterfinals in the Monegasque Masters 1000, the Tuscan continued to arouse good impressions going up to the semifinals in the ATP 500 in Barcelona. Lorenzo, number 18 ATP, must take full advantage of the Iberian draw which seems easy in the first two commitments.
However, the tennis player from Carrara cannot underestimate Hanfmann. The thirty-two year old from Karlsruhe overcame the qualifiers by imposing himself on his compatriot Marterer and on the French Cazaux, before surprising the Peruvian Varillas at the debut of the main draw. Number 108 ATP, in his career he has collected two lost finals, both on clay, in Gstaad 2017, and in Kitzbuhel 2020.
The match between Lorenzo Musetti and Yannick Hanfmann will be the second starting at 11.00 on court number 6 after the match between the host Munar and the Dutchman Griekspoor. It will be possible to follow the event live on Sky Sport, and in streaming on Sky GO and NOW. OA Sport will offer you the LIVE LIVE written point by point of the game. Have fun and good tennis everyone!
