10 Jan
Summary
- Lorenzo Musetti seeks his first ATP Tour title since 2022.
- Musetti advanced to the Hong Kong semifinals by defeating Wong.
- He will face former champion Andrey Rublev in the next round.
Top seed Lorenzo Musetti has advanced to the semifinals of the Bank of China Hong Kong Tennis Open, marking a significant stride towards his first ATP Tour title since 2022. He secured his place by defeating local favorite Coleman Wong in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.
Musetti's next challenge will be a semi-final clash against the formidable Andrey Rublev, a past champion in Hong Kong. Rublev himself advanced with a commanding performance, defeating Nuno Borges. This encounter sets up an exciting match between two of the tour's prominent players.
Looking back, Musetti reached a career-high No. 6 ranking in 2025 and contested three finals, narrowly missing out on titles. His upcoming match against Rublev, whom he previously lost to in 2020, presents an opportunity for him to demonstrate his considerable improvement as a player.
