The round of 16 match of Canadian Open 2023 between Lorenzo Musetti and Daniil Medvedev will take place on August 10.
Lorenzo Musetti patiently waited for Thanasi Kokkinakis’ physical condition to weaken, capitalizing on the opportunity in their Toronto clash. Although facing the possibility of a two-set loss, Musetti seized control in the decisive set by leveraging his superior fitness. He secured victory with a final score of 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. In 2023, the talented Italian has clinched seven quarterfinal berths, with four being in his recent ATP events. However, these achievements have not materialized on hard courts. Notably, he hasn’t progressed to the quarterfinals in a hardcourt tournament since the previous year’s Paris Masters.
Amid a day of setbacks for rivals like Tsitsipas, Zverev, and Rublev, Daniil Medvedev capitalized on a favorable draw in Toronto. He comfortably defeated Matteo Arnaldi 6-2, 7-5 in the opening round. Overcoming a challenging 2022, Medvedev’s strong performances on hard courts in early 2023 propelled him back into the ATP top 10, even the top 5. Across six hardcourt ATP events, he’s reached at least the semifinals, claiming titles in Doha, Dubai, Rotterdam, and Miami Masters. Historically strong on North American hard courts, he reached four consecutive finals in 2019 and won the 2021 US Open. Even amid a tough 2022, he secured victory in Los Cabos in August, ending his title drought.
