Lorenzo Musetti Withdraws From Miami Open Hours Before Play Begins

The Italian said he needs more time to feel 100% on court, signaling a pivot to the clay-court swing.

Overview

  • Musetti announced his withdrawal on Instagram shortly before the tournament start, thanking fans and noting he plans to return during the clay season.
  • Event reporting says the Miami Open has faced heavy rain that delayed or cancelled sessions, with organizers racing to manage a backed‑up schedule.
  • Coverage notes multiple withdrawals at the event, with reports listing Novak Djokovic and Emma Raducanu among those out.
  • This continues a difficult run for Musetti after retiring with a leg issue while leading Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, then losing in straight sets on his Indian Wells return.
