Lorenzo Musetti was reminded of his love for tennis as he booked his place in the Queen's final with a hard-fought win against Jordan Thompson.

Italy's Musetti fell flat on his back in celebration after wrapping up a 6-3 3-6 6-3 victory to reach a first ATP Tour final on grass.

It continues a positive grass-court season for the 22-year-old, who reached the last eight at the Stuttgart Open last week.

Musetti was asked in his on-court interview about the tattoo on his left arm that shows an electrocardiogram line of his own heartbeat with a tennis racquet in the middle.

"I love this sport," he said.

"I'm really passionate about tennis since I was a kid. I dreamt to be a tennis player and become number one in the world.

"I also have another tattoo that says 'family'. I really care about people.

"Im surrounded by people that love me. This win is for them."
