At 22, Droguet dismissed Musetti 6-3, 0-6, 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 6-2 in 3:40. Like incredulous, he first let himself fall on his back, shook his opponent’s hand and then let out a huge cry of deliverance. Arriving in New York, the Frenchman who usually plays on the Challenger circuit (2nd division), posted 119,000 dollars in tournament winnings since he started on the professional circuit in 2018, including the 3,700 dollars of the half- Meerbusch final, his last tournament before the US Open. Just playing the second round of the main draw in New York will net him $123,000. He will try to do even better and reach the third round by facing the Czech Jakub Mensik (206th) on Wednesday, also from qualifying and who beat another Frenchman, Grégoire Barrère (59th).
