Lorenzo Musetti has had bad luck. The Italian will not be at the ATP 500 in Tokyo this week after suffering an injury to the ring finger of his right hand during a training session. This unexpected absence comes for a player who was set to compete in Japan this week and has expressed his disappointment at not being able to perform in front of the Japanese audience.

Musetti himself explained on his social media that the injury is a small fracture in the ring finger of his right hand, a setback that forces him to halt his plans. “I injured my ring finger on my right hand during a training session and, unfortunately, I won’t be able to play this year,” the Italian stated. This withdrawal comes just before the start of a tournament that Musetti had particularly marked on his calendar. He had shown his excitement about competing here again and wanted to send a message of affection to the fans who were looking forward to seeing him on the court.

“I was really looking forward to playing in this tournament, and I love the fans of the Japan Open and Tokyo. I can’t wait to come back next year,” added the player. The injury represents a minor setback for Musetti in the final stretch of the season, as he will now need to focus on recovering from this issue with his right hand before facing the upcoming commitments on the calendar. For now, his statement does not provide further details on the estimated recovery time or his participation in the following tournaments.

Musetti is now among the last-minute withdrawals that disrupt the lineup of the ATP 500 in Tokyo, leaving the Japanese tournament without one of its major attractions. The organization officially confirmed his withdrawal and sent their best wishes to the Italian, who will have to wait until the next edition to reconnect with the fans of the Japan Open.
