Overview
- Musetti announced on Wednesday that he will not play at Wimbledon because, despite encouraging scans and rehabilitation, he has not started a full athletic training program.
- The injury dates to Rome, where Musetti picked up a thigh problem that forced him out of the French Open and other warm-up events this spring.
- Reports say Matteo Berrettini is expected to move into Musetti’s main-draw spot, a direct entry that alters wildcard and alternate placements for the tournament.
- Musetti’s season has been repeatedly disrupted by lower-body injuries, he has fallen from the top 10 in live rankings, and his team is targeting a cautious comeback on the North American hard-court swing or later clay events.
- Organizers and players face a compressed grass season that magnifies late withdrawals, and typical medical timelines for comparable thigh lesions of six to 12 weeks help explain Musetti’s conservative decision.
