Musetti, who will play his first final on grass, returned to the Queen’s grass, as he already did after beating Billy Harris in the quarterfinals, defeating Thompson 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
The Italian won his third three-set match of the week against a Thompson who needed to be treated for his back in the second set, but who played without much physical burden and gave in in a third set in which he did not generate a single one of ‘ break’ and conceded six.

Musetti, who with this result will once again be among the top 25 in the world, aspires to the third title of his career, after those achieved in Hamburg 2022 on clay and in Naples 2022, on cement.
He will face Paul, the fifth seed, who dispatched Korda 6-4 and 7-6 (1). In the American duel, Paul took advantage at the end of the first set when Korda suffered a spectacular fall that cost him the break and the partial, in addition to a bandage on his left ankle that made him play more cautiously in the following games.

The American was down 5-2 in the second set, but took advantage of a very nervous game from Paul to close out the victory to get back on track and extend the match until the tie break, where a chain of errors buried his chances.
Paul can add the third title of his career this Sunday, after Stockholm 2021 and Dallas 2024, both on hard courts. On grass he lost his only final, in Eastbourne 2023 against the Argentine Francisco Cerúndolo.
