Italian No 2 Lorenzo Musetti put himself at risk of disqualification when he kicked a loose ball into the body of a line judge.

Lorenzo Musetti advanced to his first semifinals appearance at the French Open Tuesday with a four-set win over Frances Tiafoe. Musetti held off Tiafoe despite receiving an unsportsmanlike conduct warning in the second set after inadvertently hitting a line judge with a ball he kicked toward the back wall at Roland-Garros out of frustration.

Frances Tiafoe hadn’t dropped a set on the way to the French Open quarterfinals, but he wasn’t up to the task against Lorenzo Musetti.
