Italian tennis player Lorenzo Musetti will not compete at the French Open this month due to a thigh injury. Musetti, ranked 10th, announced the withdrawal after his performance at the Italian Open in Rome, where he lost to Casper Ruud in the round of 16. Reports say Musetti showed signs of reduced movement during the match and received treatment on his left thigh. The day after the loss, he undergoes medical examinations that identify the problem as a rectus femoris injury. Musetti says the injury requires several weeks of rest and recovery, making it impossible for him to play Roland Garros. One outlet also notes that his withdrawal will cost him a spot in the men’s top 10. Musetti previously reached the semifinals at Roland Garros last year, but the current injury prevents him from taking part in this year’s tournament. His absence leaves a vacancy in the draw as organizers prepare for matches without him.
