Lorenzo Musetti Withdraws From French Open and Hamburg With Quadriceps Tear

Scans revealed a quadriceps tear requiring weeks of rest, putting the world No. 10’s ranking and clay-court plans in doubt.

Overview

  • Musetti announced on social media that he will miss Roland Garros and the Hamburg Open after scans found a rectus femoris tear, a muscle in the front of the thigh.
  • The injury flared during his Rome Masters run, where he took a medical timeout against Casper Ruud and finished the match despite clear discomfort before losing 6-3, 6-1.
  • Skipping Paris means he will forfeit 720 ranking points from last year’s semifinal, which could drop his ATP position to about No. 15.
  • His withdrawal moves Stan Wawrinka directly into the Roland Garros main draw, and the French federation has not yet named a new wild card.
  • The setback continues a stop-start season for Musetti and adds to high-profile clay-court absences that are reshaping expectations for Paris.
