PARIS: Italian Lorenzo Musetti has withdrawn from the French Open with a thigh injury, the world number 10 said on Wednesday, describing the decision as extremely difficult.
Last year’s Roland Garros semi-finalist struggled physically during his round-of-16 defeat by Norway’s Casper Ruud at the Italian Open in Rome on Tuesday.
“After yesterday’s match, I underwent medical examinations which revealed a rectus femoris injury, requiring several weeks of rest and recovery,” Musetti wrote on Instagram. Unfortunately, this means I won’t be able to compete in Hamburg and Roland Garros – news that is incredibly hard to take.
