Tennis-Injured Musetti withdraws from Wimbledon

Italian tennis player Lorenzo Musetti has withdrawn from Wimbledon due to a thigh injury, citing the need for further rehabilitation and a full athletic training program.

Italian Lorenzo ​Musetti pulled out ​of Wimbledon on ‌Wednesday as ​he continued to recover from the thigh injury that ‌meant the former world number five also missed the French Open. Musetti, who reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in ‌2024, has not played since he fell ‌to Casper Ruud in the fourth round of the Italian Open in Rome in mid-May.

"I want to update ⁠you on ​my ⁠recovery from the injury I sustained in Rome: rehabilitation is ⁠going very well and the medical results are ​encouraging," the 24-year-old Musetti wrote on Instagram. "Unfortunately, as ⁠I have not yet been able to begin a ⁠full ​athletic training program, and after careful evaluation, we have come to the difficult conclusion ⁠that I will not be able to participate in ⁠Wimbledon ⁠this year."

"It is not an easy decision, but it is the right one."
