Third seed Lorenzo Musetti opened his Stockholm campaign on Tuesday by dismissing Britain’s Toby Samuel 6-1, 6-4, earning the 48th tour-level quarter-final of his career and his seventh of the season. The Italian, Lyon champion this season, will meet qualifier Borna Gojo or seventh seed Ugo Humbert for a place in the semi-finals.
The win gave Musetti, 24, the 48th tour-level quarter-final of his career, and his seventh of the season. He became the second Italian to reach the last eight in Stockholm this decade, after Lorenzo Sonego in 2025.
Musetti arrived in Stockholm with an 8-2 record on indoor hard courts this season. That run includes his Lyon title, the third of his career, won 6-3, 6-4 in the final against Taylor Fritz, the top seed in Stockholm this week. Lyon was one of his two finals this season.
