Italy's Musetti battles into French Open last 16
Italy's Lorenzo Musetti rallied from a set down to book his spot in the French Open last 16 on Friday.
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.
