Lorenzo Musetti's one-of-a-kind tattoo features a "personal" touch that sets it apart

Lorenzo Musetti's exceptional all-court game is not the only thing that catches spectators' attention when the youngster is competing. The 21-year-old, who pulled off one of the biggest wins of her career by stunning Novak Djokovic in the Monte Carlo second round, also has a distinctive tattoo on his left tricep.

The tattoo features an electrocardiography thread with a tennis racket in the middle. While this may not elicit much of a reaction, it has a unique backstory.

Speaking to the ATP Tour, the Italian revealed that the tattoo does not feature a representative electrocardiography image, but rather his own heartbeat.

Musetti said his uncle, who is a cardiologist, had him take the test. The 21-year-old then picked his favorite section from the results and had it tattooed on his left arm.

"It's my personal heartbeat, like very personal, [it's] mine," Lorenzo Musetti told the ATP Tour. "My uncle is a cardiologist, I took one set of the frequency and it was this one."

Speaking of the tennis racket dissecting the electrocardiography reading, Musetti said he wanted it to signify how important tennis was to him — that the sport was "in everything".

"And then I put a racket in the middle," he continued. "I put the racket here. I wanted a tattoo, a small one. That was it, [tennis] is in everything. It's worth it."
