Musetti Parts Ways With Perlas, Keeps Longtime Coach Tartarini

Recovering from a left-thigh injury, Musetti will focus on rehabilitation with a view to returning on the North American hard courts.

Overview

  • Lorenzo Musetti announced on Saturday that he has ended his six-month collaboration with coach José Perlas, posting a message of thanks on his Instagram account.
  • Simone Tartarini, Musetti’s childhood coach, will remain in his team and no new high-profile replacement has been announced.
  • Musetti has been sidelined since suffering a left rectus femoris injury at the Internazionali di Roma, a setback that forced him to skip Roland Garros and withdraw from Wimbledon.
  • The season began strongly for Musetti with a run to the Australian Open quarterfinals, but injuries have hurt his form and Race position and now make recovery and team stability the immediate priorities.
  • Keeping Tartarini preserves personal continuity for Musetti, who has spent time in Puglia with family while rehabbing, and supporters should watch for any staff changes or a planned comeback on the U.S. hard-court swing.
