With his historic victory at the Rome Masters 1000 against Casper Ruud, the world number one continues to distance himself from the Spanish tennis player.
Lorenzo Musetti
The official withdrawal of Lorenzo Musetti from Roland Garros 2026 has a very important side effect for the tournament, as it frees up a spot in the main draw. With the absence of the Italian, Stan Wawrinka now enters directly into the draw, so he no longer needs the wild card that had been granted to him. In the coming hours, the recipient of that wildcard will be known.

The Italian feels sad for having suffered another physical setback and questions his participation in Roland Garros.
Lorenzo Musetti provided details about the injury that will prevent him from competing in Roland Garros 2026, stating that he has a tear in the femoral rectus. Depending on the extent of the issue, the recovery period ranges from one to two months, putting his participation in Wimbledon 2026 at serious risk. In fact, not defending points there and considering the complexity of grass at a muscular level, it would be logical for the Italian to decide to return during the North American hard court season. Musetti will suffer a significant drop in the rankings, losing the 800 points earned in Paris last year and being unable to accumulate points for quite some time.

The Italian confirms he has suffered a tear in the femoral rectus.
This muscle is very tricky.
A moderate injury implies one month out. If the tear is more severe, we are talking about two months.
Let's hope he is back as soon as possible. https://t.co/sGWIWTYkNA pic.twitter.com/yoj5DfdCDQ

Bad, really bad news for Roland Garros after the last-minute withdrawal that nobody could have expected. It's Lorenzo Musetti who has had a season with some ups and downs due to injuries that have prevented him from being more consistent. "It's incredibly difficult news to accept," wrote the Italian on his social media confirming his absence in Paris. A pity for a man who is always a contender to go far on clay courts.

The Norwegian reflects on the immense competitiveness that is felt on the ATP circuit and shows his enthusiasm to continue advancing in the Rome tournament.
A bad turn on clay for Lorenzo Musetti, which will lead him to Roland Garros 2026 lacking competitive rhythm, confidence, and with physical discomforts. As if that weren't enough, the 300 points lost in his ATP ranking at the Foro Itálico condemn Carrara's player to drop out of the top-10, leaving this select group of tennis players without any representative with a one-handed backhand.

Casper Ruud dominated Lorenzo Musetti in a match that had garnered great attention at the ATP Masters 1000 Rome 2026, but it had little drama. The Norwegian showcased a very consistent performance, similar to what he has been demonstrating in recent weeks, and overwhelmed the young Italian, who was desperate due to his lack of confidence and experiencing physical discomfort in his left thigh. The final result was 6-3, 6-1 in favor of Ruud, who will face Khachanov or Prizmic in the quarterfinals.

Lorenzo Musetti is aware that he is a special player because of his one-handed backhand, a clearly countercultural move executed with endless elegance and mastery. "I started playing tennis at the age of four and was already hitting with one hand. I think it provides some advantage on clay courts due to the variety it allows me to have, especially with the slice, which I have been working on since I was a child and comes more naturally to me. However, there are many challenges when playing a one-handed backhand, more than advantages. It is not easy to play like this right now due to the speed of the ball. I believe I will be one of the last to play with a one-handed backhand and have such a good ranking," he concluded.

The Italian managed his emotions at crucial moments, raising his game to clinch a 7-6 (7) 6-4 win, now setting up a match with Casper Ruud in the round of 16.
