In an episode of 'The Sit-Down', Musetti stated, 'I think in terms of achievement and satisfaction, I think the bronze [medal].'
His bronze medal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, earned after defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime in the third-place match, holds a special place in his heart. Musetti described it as 'something really... I don’t know, I was playing for my country. It was in a moment that I would never expect, you know, to go till then.'
