In Germany it is called the Abitur, in Austria it is the Matura and in Italian it is called “maturità” - we are talking about the school leaving examination. Next-gen hope Lorenzo Musetti took his oral exam at a linguistic high school in Cecina, Tuscany, despite the stress on the ATP tour last Saturday. A highly valued school education for a future professional athlete, which is worthy of all honors. The only uncertainty is whether he has passed the exam - the 19-year-old will definitely only find out in a week.

“It went well for me. I think I did it, "said the Italian in an interview with the ATP. Due to the exams and the associated learning phase, Musetti has not been able to play a tournament since his knockout in the round of 16 at Roland Garros. But now he is really looking forward to Wimbledon: “I will definitely enjoy playing on grass. I think it's a good mix, a good combination - my game and the lawn. ”What will he definitely not miss again? “To learn on the go”, so the current world ranking 58.
