Musetti sets aim to become top Italian player in 2023, but admits goal is difficult due to Sinner and Berrettini

Lorenzo Musetti aims to become the top Italian player in 2023 but concedes that it's going to be really difficult with Sinner and Berrettini in the picture as well.

Musetti has high ambitions and he never hid them. His goal for 2023 is to become the top player in his country but that will be very hard with players such as SInner and Berrettini who have been ranked in the top 10 before. They'll certainly aim to return there so it is very crowded on the Mt. Rushmore of current Italian tennis.

He's ready for the challenge though:

"I ended a fantastic season. I achieved all the goals I set before the season. The results went beyond my expectations. I am the third best ranked Italian player. My goal is to do even better. I hope to become the top player."

He added that he wants to see his Davis Cup thrive ads well as they all want to win the Davis Cup for Italy together:

"It would mean to achieve great results, as Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini are  two top players and will return to the top 10. We are not rivals and have a great respect for each other. We are a great team when we play for the national team in the Davis Cup."
