Italy's Lorenzo Musetti eyes the ball as he plays a forehand return to Argentina's Mariano Navone during their men's singles match on day 6 of the French Open tennis tournament on Court Suzanne-Lenglen at the Roland-Garros Complex in Paris. AFP
Eighth seed Musetti won 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 against 97th-ranked Argentine Mariano Navone in three hours and 25 minutes on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
"Honestly, today was completely different conditions from the last two matches," said Musetti as windy and chilly conditions gave way to blazing sunshine in Paris.
"I was a little bit surprised at the beginning, but happy and really proud of the comeback.
"I've grown up a lot. A match like this I don't know if I would (have) come back a few years ago."
Musetti, who reached the fourth round in Paris for the third time, next plays either 10th seed Holger Rune of Denmark or France's Quentin Halys for a place in the quarter-finals.
