How they play

Playing style

Musetti is an all-court counter-puncher with a vintage style anchored by one of the tour's best one-handed backhands, enabling winners from defensive positions and variety via slices, dropshots, and serve-volleys. He mixes defensive backhand slices with aggressive forehands developed recently for offense, adapting well across surfaces but excelling on clay where rhythm changes unsettle foes, making him dangerous through unpredictability and shot-making flair.

Serve
Musetti's serve features good placement and variety, recently improved for aggression with higher ace rates, though not overpowering; he uses it to set up points effectively on all surfaces.
Groundstrokes
Signature one-handed backhand is a weapon for down-the-line winners and heavy spin; forehand generates depth, spin, and increasing power as an offensive tool, hit with semi-western grip for control and heaviness.
Movement
Excellent court coverage and pace allow defensive retrievals from deep or wide; adapts fluidly across surfaces, strong on clay but versatile, with good balance aiding transitions to net.
Weakness
One-handed backhand offers less stability against extreme high-bouncing topspin, exploited by heavy hitters; mental lapses under pressure and injury proneness have hindered consistency in big moments.
