Lorenzo Musetti owns his timely Esquire cover debut

Bedecked in Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, and more fine styles, Lorenzo Musetti finds himself the cover star of Esquire Italia's November issue

Still fairly fresh off his breakout-year hits—including upset victories over Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori, Frances Tiafoe and more—the teen's coverage couldn't be better timed.

The 18-year-old Italian, a Next Gen ATP star already, stands over 6 feet tall, and makes the styles in his feature spread—baggy in the recently trendy way—stand out. It's a photo story that could have appeared in the 1980s, yet feels current.

In the feature story, Musetti speaks to his favoring of Roger Federer's tennis, idolizing LeBron James and his origins in the sport of tennis.

In an abbreviated-yet-tremendous season for this player set to be around for another decade and a half, stay tuned for what Musetti does next.
