He began playing tennis at the age of four, and has been coached by Simone Tartarini since childhood; Musetti has said he doesn't think he will ever change coaches.[8] His tennis idol growing up wasRoger Federer, which contributed to his usage of the one-handed backhand.[9][10]
In his junior career, Musetti reached the final of the2018 US Open boys' singles, before defeatingEmilio Nava in a final set tiebreak to win the2019 Australian Open boys' singles title on 26 January 2019.[11][12] He achieved theITF juniors ranking of No. 1 in the world on 10 June 2019.[13][14] He ended his junior career in late 2019 before turning professional.
After receiving awildcard and passing the qualifying, he made hisATP Tour main draw debut in February 2020 at theDubai Tennis Championships, at the age of 17, where he lost in the first round againstAndrey Rublev.

Musetti was the youngest player to break into the top 100 for the first time in his career by reaching the semifinals of theATP Tour 500Mexican Open tournament in March after going through qualifying. There he had his first top 10 win against world No. 9Diego Schwartzman in three sets. He also beatFrances Tiafoe and 5th-seedGrigor Dimitrov to break into the top 100 and reach his second ATP semifinal, and first at a 500 level, where he was defeated in straight sets byStefanos Tsitsipas.[16][17] The 19-year-old was the third-youngest semifinalist in the tournament's history. OnlyXavier Malisse (1998) andRafael Nadal (2005) reached the final four in Acapulco at a younger age.[18]
Musetti reached his third ATP semifinal at theLyon Open in May, where he was again defeated by Tsitsipas.
He capped off the clay season by reaching the fourth round at theFrench Open, on his Grand Slam championship debut (only the sixth player since 2000 to do so), beating 13th seedDavid Goffin,Yoshihito Nishioka andMarco Cecchinato in his first five-set match.[19] He had a 2–0 lead in sets against top seedNovak Djokovic in the fourth round, but retired in the 5th set trailing 0–4.[20] As a result of this successful run, he climbed to his best ranking of world No. 57 on 13 September 2021.

At the next Masters 1000, the2025 Mutua Madrid Open, Musetti reached back-to-back quarterfinals with another win overAlex de Minaur, and sealed his top 10 debut. He became the sixth Italian player since 1973 to crack the Top 10.[63][64] He made the final four after defeating lucky loserGabriel Diallo and moved to a new career-high ranking of world No. 9 in the singles rankings on 5 May 2025.[65] At theItalian Open as the eighth seed, Musetti beatDaniil Medvedev and defending championAlexander Zverev to reach the semifinal, losing to eventual championAlcaraz in straight sets.

On 15 March 2024, Musetti announced via Instagram that he and his partner Veronica Confalonieri had welcomed a son, whom they named Ludovico.[74]In May 2025, also through Instagram, the couple announced Confalonieri is pregnant with their second child.[75]
Musetti has revealed that the birth of his first child changed his mentality around tennis and inspired him to play better and train harder. He also credits reaching the Semi-finals ofWimbledon and a bronze medal at theSummer Olympics in Paris (both 2024) to the same inspiration.
Musetti has lived with a group of five friends since the age of 8; he calls them his first fans after his family. Musetti trains at La Spezia TC and Tirrenia.[76]
Musetti is a longtime fan ofJuventus FC.[77]
Musetti is an all-court player who primarily plays a counter-punching game from the baseline. He is known for his one-handed backhand, widely regarded as one of the best on tour.[78][79] He is capable of hitting winners from difficult positions, such as deep beyond the baseline or outside the doubles alley.[80]
Musetti is also noted for the variety in his game, including his use of the defensive backhand slice, drop shots, and serve and volley tactics. He is able to adapt his playing style from surface to surface, as evidenced by his comparable success on hard, grass, and clay courts. In recent years, Musetti has worked on developing his forehand as an aggressive weapon to complement his defensive shot-making.
Musetti has been praised for his excellent backhand and his ability to hit winners with both forehand and backhand. He has said that he only ever used the one-hander and that it 'just felt right' for him when he started playing at age four. He has said that his favourite surface is clay and that the forehand is his favourite shot.
