“Yeah, I mean, I think today was a really solid performance from the beginning,” reflected Musetti after the match’s conclusion.
“I think Jaume is really a great player who can really take off all the passion that you have inside, and because he’s really a fighter and he never dies. So I knew that from the beginning and probably was the key of this match.”
Musetti, ranked No 16, will face Pole Hubert Hurkacz, the No 17 seed, next.
The 21-year-old Italian won against Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas (6-3, 6-1, 7-5) ahead of his victory.
In the previous round of The Championships, Munar, ranked No 109, edged out American John Isner (4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4).
