<p>Lorenzo Musetti tamed big-serving Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 on Monday to reach his first Grand Slam quarter-final.&nbsp;The Italian 25th seed, who showed his prowess on grass by reaching the final last month at Queen&rsquo;s, broke the French lucky loser five times on Court No. 2.</p>

<p>Perricard, Wimbledon&rsquo;s ace leader with 115 aces, was rock-solid on serve in the first set, taking it with a single break, but stumbled towards the end of the second set.&nbsp;An early break for the Italian in the third set put him in the driving seat and the Frenchman ran out of steam. Musetti hit a total of 23 winners against just eight unforced errors, compared to his opponent&rsquo;s tally of 42 unforced errors. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s tough for me to get emotional but I think today I will,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been dreaming of this moment since I was a kid. It&rsquo;s such a big day for me and I&rsquo;m really happy and proud of this win against a tough opponent. I struggled a little at the beginning against a big serve. I&rsquo;m a little bit shaking still but at the end it&rsquo;s a really phenomenal day for me,&rdquo; he added.&nbsp;Musetti will face either German fourth seed Alexander Zverev or USA&rsquo;s Taylor Fritz for a place in the semi-finals.</p>
