Musetti roars as he serves. He broke the Frenchman’s powerful serve twice to tie the set at 1-1.
Mpetsi Pericado is currently reeling. Musetti gets a break and is able to serve for the second set, losing 5-3, 1-0.
Musetti hits back, the score is 2-2With the sun shining, his experience is being put to good use. This match will probably last longer than expected. They have met before in Frankfurt, with the Italian winning 7-6, 7-6 against Mpetzi Pericado. Musetti holds serve for the next game.
Great play from Pericardo He broke Musetti’s serve and then won his own serve in the second set to take a 2-0 lead. He’s doing well.
Pericardo won the first set 6-4 from Musetti. Pericard read a line call well (ruled out by the umpire) to set up two set points, the first of which was a miscue, but the second was indisputable, with a powerful serve getting the job done.
Pericardo’s serve was strong and he overpowered Musetti to take a 5-3 lead. The 20-year-old has a lot of potential. Musetti holds the next serve but will have to face it to stay in the set.
3-3, then 4-3 After Musetti was on serve and it was at deuce, both players were powerful and Pericardo’s return was strong, going through the baseline and breaking serve.
Now, it’s Court 2, Musetti vs Pericardo, currently serving for the lead at 2-2. Both have coaches with long hair and beards.
