Musetti, completely broken: "I have no words to describe how I feel now"

Sometimes, sports can be very dramatic. Lorenzo Musetti experienced the worst possible outcome in the world of sports when he suffered an injury while leading the score against Novak Djokovic. The Italian had to retire, lamenting a unique opportunity for him to defeat Nole and reach the semifinals of the Australian Open for the first time in his career.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened to him. Lollo already has a background with big matches against top rivals. Is it a psychological aspect or just bad luck? Either way, the Italian has no choice but to work on preventing these things from happening again, whether by improving his physical condition or analyzing why it always occurs when facing a major competitive challenge.

Musetti explains when he felt the physical issue

I felt it at the beginning of the second set. I sensed something odd in my right leg. I kept playing because I was playing really, really well, but I felt the pain increasing and the issue didn't go away. Ultimately, when I took the medical timeout, to stay for three minutes, I sat down, and when I started playing again, I felt it even more, and the level of pain kept rising. So, there isn't much to say about that.

Recurrence of injuries

We did all the exams and tests before the season started to try to prevent these kinds of injuries, and they said nothing came up, so honestly, I have no words to describe how I feel now and how difficult this injury is for me at the moment.

If he could wrap his leg and continue playing

Well, wrapping it was a bit challenging because it was quite high up, so it was impossible. And no, I mean, I personally feel I know my body, and I personally feel pretty confident that this is a tear, unfortunately.
