Overview
- Musetti announced Wednesday that he will not play at Wimbledon because, despite encouraging medical results, he has not started a full athletic preparation.
- The 22-year-old is rehabbing an adductor injury suffered at the Rome tournament and had already missed Roland Garros after retiring from his Australian Open quarterfinal while leading Novak Djokovic.
- Musetti and his team said the decision was made to avoid rushing his comeback and to protect his long-term fitness so he can return to the tour at 100 percent.
- Italy’s lineup at Wimbledon changes with Jannik Sinner confirmed to return to competition and Matteo Berrettini entered in the main draw.
- Musetti’s absence interrupts the momentum he showed earlier this season, reduces his near-term ranking opportunities, and shifts focus to other Italian players at the Championships.
