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.
