Lorenzo Musetti welcomes his second son with girlfriend Veronica Confalonieri

Lorenzo Musetti’s Christmas tree is getting bigger this year as he and his girlfriend, Veronica Confalonieri, welcome their second child.

Confalonieri gave birth to a baby boy on November 29, a year and eight months after their first child, Ludovico, was born. Musetti has been dating her since 2022. He announced the news through a social media post on Saturday, also revealing the newborn’s name — Leandro.

Musetti enjoyed a standout season on the tennis court this year. He racked up 45 wins and reached the ATP Top 10 for the first time, climbing to a career-high ranking of World No. 6 in June.

He reached three finals but could not convert any of them into a title during the season. Still, he’ll surely be happier to bid 2025 goodbye as part of a family of four.

"Love multiplies," he captioned his Instagram post about Leandro’s birth.

The World No. 8 notably debuted in the ATP Finals this year. He qualified for the tournament after Novak Djokovic, who defeated him in the Athens final, withdrew. He did not make it to the semifinals but registered a first victory in the event.

After a straight-set loss to American Taylor Fritz in his opener, he put on a spirited performance to beat Aussie Alex de Minaur in a tough three-setter. However, his hopes of reaching the final-four were dashed by year-end World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz.

Musetti has two ATP titles to his name. He won both in the year 2022, with triumphs in Hamburg (ATP 500) and Naples (ATP 250). Since then, he has played in six finals but failed to add silverware to his trophy cabinet.

He lost his first final at the 2024 Queen’s Club Championship at the hands of Tommy Paul of the USA. A few weeks later, Francisco Cerundolo denied him a trophy in Umag. He then suffered an upset in the Chengdu Open title clash, losing to Shang Juncheng as the top seed.

Earlier this year, he was a set away from a Masters 1000 triumph, but Alcaraz produced a comeback to take the cup home. He met with another disappointing result in Chengdu in September as he faltered against Alejandro Tabilo in the final.

Musetti has also been knocking on the door at the Grand Slams. In 2024, he produced a run to the semifinals at Wimbledon. This year, he made the semifinals at Roland-Garros and quarterfinals at the US Open.

Ludovico has been a quiet source of inspiration behind the Italian’s ascent to the ATP Top 10 this year. With baby Leandro now joining the party, Musetti can aim for higher accolades by driving joy and motivation from a bigger fanbase at home.
