The match tonight for Lorenzo Musetti was very risky. The Italian, who had not competed due to injury since the last Australian Open, could not get past the debut at Indian Wells against Marton Fucsovics who knew how to take full advantage of his poor form (7-5, 6-1). A tough blow for the Italian tennis player, although at this point, the most important thing was to return to the circuit and leave behind this period of inactivity that has been so long. Surely things will go much better for him in Miami.

Lorenzo Musetti is back on a tennis court in Indian Wells after the injury that forced him to retire against Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open and skip the South American tour. "After what happened in Australia, I was a little upset with my situation. It wasn't easy to withdraw from a tournament that was really important to me. Because of the way I was playing and the situation I had created in the match against Novak, it wasn't easy to deal with that. I felt I was probably playing my best tennis in terms of knowing very well what I was doing, but I am very happy to be back here with a lot of motivation." The Italian will debut against Marton Fucsovics. "I think these types of injuries can only be solved with a great mindset, and that's what I'm trying to do," he concluded.
