US Open: Musetti needs five sets to reach second round; gets qualifier Brouwer next

Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti, the No 26 seed, won a humdinger of a contest over former top 10 player David Goffin, of Belgium, in five sets to reach the second round of the US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City on Tuesday evening.

Musetti came from 5-2 down in the final set to win 3-6, 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (9) in four hours and 36 minutes to reach the second round of the US Open for the second year in a row.

This was the first Grand Slam win for Musetti in 2022. Up next for the 30th ranked Musetti is Dutch qualifier Gijs Brouwer, who defeated Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in straight sets.
