Lorenzo Musetti Withdraws from French Open Due to Injury
Italian tennis star Lorenzo Musetti announced his withdrawal from the French Open due to a thigh injury. The world number ten's decision, guided by medical advice, comes after his defeat in Rome. The injury also sidelines him from Hamburg, adding to absences like Carlos Alcaraz.
Italian tennis sensation Lorenzo Musetti has been forced to withdraw from the French Open owing to a thigh injury. Announced on Wednesday, Musetti described his decision as 'extremely difficult' yet necessary after consultations revealed a rectus femoris injury demanding weeks of rest.
Musetti, last year's semi-finalist at Roland Garros, faced a taxing round-of-16 defeat against Norway's Casper Ruud at the Italian Open. Following the match, medical examinations dictated he would miss upcoming tournaments in Hamburg and Paris.
This development disheartens fans hoping to witness Musetti's anticipated performance at Roland Garros, where he aims to continue his Grand Slam progress. His absence further highlights the event's growing list of injuries, including two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing due to a wrist issue.
