Lorenzo Musetti and the injuries, a never-ending story. The Italian continues to suffer physical setbacks in recent months that are preventing him from showing his best tennis, the one that made him the world number five. Musetti has not managed to recover in time from his torn femoral rectus suffered in the Rome Masters 1000. An unfortunate event that made him skip Roland Garros and now forces him to withdraw from Wimbledon.

"I would like to inform you about my recovery from the injury suffered in Rome: the rehabilitation is progressing very well and the medical results are encouraging. Unfortunately, as I have not yet started full training and after a thorough evaluation, we have come to the difficult conclusion that I will not be able to compete at Wimbledon this year. It's not an easy decision, but it's the right one. My priority is to return to the court at 100%. Thank you for your continuous support. See you soon," wrote the Italian on his social media after withdrawing from the London major, with his compatriot Matteo Berrettini taking his place.

This confirms a significant absence in the men's draw of a player who showcased his potential on grass at Wimbledon 2024, despite his first-round defeat last year. He would have arrived at this edition with little preparation, but his tennis has always made him dangerous on any surface.

What is happening physically to Lorenzo Musetti in recent months?

However, his body is becoming his biggest enemy. For many months now, the Italian has been battling against his physical condition. This latest injury in Rome prevented him from competing in Roland Garros, where he was defending the semifinals from last year. In fact, he entered the start of the clay court swing with uncertainties and a lack of rhythm after exiting in the first round of Indian Wells and skipping the Miami Open.

Setback for Musetti.

His physical condition has become a major concern for a player with exquisite technique and court intelligence that make him one of the most dangerous players on the circuit. Even last year, he seemed to be the only one keeping pace with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. During the clay court season last year, he reached the final in Monte Carlo and the semifinals in Madrid, Rome, and Paris. In the latter, after winning the first set against Alcaraz and putting him under pressure, it was his left leg that prevented him from continuing the fight.

It remains to be seen when he will return to the courts. It would be logical for him to reappear in the North American hard court swing. It would be a great place to regain form, feelings, and close the year with a different taste. Moreover, it would also showcase the improvements that José Perlas, who joined his team at the beginning of the year, has brought to his game. Patience is what Lorenzo Musetti must have at this moment and good health to see him enjoying the game again and making others enjoy on a tennis court.
