Italian 18-year-old Lorenzo Musetti reached the semi-finals of the Sardegna Open on Friday with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Yannick Hanfmann. Musetti is the youngest ATP tour semi-finalist since compatriot Jannik Sinner at last year's European Open in Antwerp. "It's amazing. Last week, I was playing in Parma and losing to Frances (Tiafoe), a great player," Musetti told atptour.com. "I was thinking of coming here and trying to go as far as I could, but I am living my best moments in Sardinia. I am playing my best tennis here." Musetti, who made the third round in Rome last month, will meet Serbia's Laslo Djere for a place in the final. Djere beat Jiri Vesely of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-4. Serbian lucky loser Danilo Petrovic, the world number 166, defeated Argentina's Federico Delbonis 7-6 (7/3), 6-1. Petrovic replaced top seed Fabio Fognini in the main draw after the Italian tested positive for coronavirus. He will face wild card Marco Cecchinato in the other semi-final. Cecchinato, a 2018 Roland Garros semi-finalist, overcame Spanish fourth seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas 4-6, 6-1, 6-1. mw/dj
