Lorenzo Musetti out of Roland Garros after continuing in Rome "despite not being 100%"

In 2025, Lorenzo Musetti tore up the clay-court season. The Italian reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final in Monte Carlo ahead of compiling three consecutive semifinal showings at Madrid, Rome and Roland Garros.

This year has produced a different story, one that can be simplified as not to be for Musetti. Having previously returned from an arm issue in Monte Carlo, another injury has now ruled the world No. 11 out of Roland Garros.

Musetti was visibly hampered during Tuesday’s fourth-round loss to Casper Ruud at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, receiving a medical timeout after dropping the first set. He had arrived on court with his left quad area wrapped for the third consecutive match, which appears to have taken a greater hit based on the update Musetti posted Wednesday.

“After yesterday’s match, I underwent medical examinations which revealed a rectus femoris injury, requiring several weeks of rest and recovery. Unfortunately, this means I won’t be able to compete in Hamburg and Roland Garros — news that is incredibly hard to take,” he wrote.

The 24-year-old completed his match with Ruud in an eventual 6-3, 6-1 defeat.

“A huge thank you to the Rome crowd for your incredible support: that’s exactly why, despite not being 100%, I chose to step on court and give everything I had in my home tournament. I’ll keep you updated,” he added.

In the Australian Open quarterfinals, a heartbroken Musetti had to retire with a two set-lead against Novak Djokovic after his right adductor flared up.

With his latest setback, half of last year’s Roland Garros semifinalists will be missing in action. Reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz, who ended Musetti's 2025 Paris bid, previously ruled himself out to nurse a right wrist injury.

Stan Wawrinka, one of this week’s announced wild cards, now moves into the 128-player field as a direct entry. The FFT is yet to announce a replacement selection.
