The French Tennis Federation reported a match lasting two hours and 38 minutes and described it as his first Masters 1000 quarter-final berth. Musetti had eliminated Alexander Zverev in the previous round, a development already covered in this dossier.
The other French players in the day’s last-16 matches lost to Americans: Arthur Fils to Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-4; Arthur Rinderknech to Ben Shelton 3-6, 6-4, 7-6; and Quentin Halys to Tommy Paul 7-6, 6-4. The FFT report and Corriere dello Sport’s Italian results table agree on these scores.
The FFT report lists Rinky Hijikata as Van Assche’s next opponent. That match had yet to be played.
