Musetti Faces Carlos Alcaraz in the Final

Musetti's next challenge is a daunting one: four-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz, who has been in scintillating form throughout the tournament. The Spaniard has notched impressive wins over Arthur Fils and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, and Musetti will need to be at his best to take him down.
