Lorenzo Musetti Clears Injury, Sets U.S. Return at Indian Wells and Miami Next Week

He arrives with few hard-court points to defend, making the upcoming clay stretch the real measure of his season.

Overview

  • The world No. 5 says his iliopsoas rehabilitation is complete and he will resume competition in the United States next week.
  • He will be the No. 5 seed at both Indian Wells and Miami, with an opening match expected March 6–7 after a first-round bye.
  • Musetti posted indoor hard-court training footage with longtime coach Simone Tartarini back at his side.
  • The injury ended his January 28 match against Novak Djokovic despite a two-set lead and then forced withdrawals from Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Acapulco.
  • He defends only about 150 points on the American hard-court swing, leaving the clay season as the bigger factor for his ranking goals.
