The match marked Zverev's opening round of 32 game in Paris, where he succumbed to a resilient 24-year-old Italian opponent. Despite a tense first set with neither player breaking the other, Musetti managed to take a lead in the second set. He capitalized on Zverev's numerous errors, breaking the German five times in succession, including a crucial serve out wide to Zverev's backhand.
