Tattooed Challenger Sets Sights on Upsetting Djokovic.

Wimbledon semi-finalist Lorenzo Musetti's passion for tennis is evident in his life, reflected in a tattoo on his left arm that combines a racquet with a graph of his heartbeat.

Lorenzo Musetti, a Wimbledon semi-finalist, proudly displays three tattoos that reflect his life and journey. One tattoo features a racquet over a graph of his heartbeat, symbolizing his deep passion for tennis.

Another is an anchor, representing the importance of family, and the third bears a quote from his coach: 'Il meglio deve ancora venire' (meaning 'the best is yet to come').

The 22-year-old, who recently became a father in March, draws strength from these tattoos as he prepares to face seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals.

Musetti, a finalist at this year's Queen's, has experienced a challenging yet thrilling path to his first Grand Slam second-week appearance. His victories have included memorable battles, like a marathon quarter-final against Taylor Fritz lasting over three hours.

On Court One, Musetti has won over fans with his powerful game and passionate celebrations. As the underdog against Djokovic on Centre Court, he can expect even more support from the crowd.

Djokovic, seeking his eighth Wimbledon title, aims to regain focus after a controversial match that drew criticism from some spectators.
