After reaching the Roland Garros semi-finals last year, Lorenzo Musetti will miss the 2026 French Open with a thigh injury sustained at the Italian Open.

Lorenzo Musetti withdraws from French Open with thigh injury...

Italian world No. 10 Lorenzo Musetti has pulled out of the French Open with a thigh injury, calling the call an extremely tough one on Wednesday.

The 2024 Roland Garros semi-finalist looked hampered during his round-of-16 loss to Casper Ruud at the Italian Open in Rome on Tuesday.

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

“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.”

The 24-year-old hit a career-high of world No. 5 in January and was tipped to be a contender at Roland Garros, with the main draw set to start on May 24th.

Musetti’s Grand Slam form has been on the rise, making the Australian Open quarter-finals earlier this year, the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2024, and the U.S. Open quarter-finals in 2025.

His exit adds to a string of big names missing Roland Garros through injury. Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is out with a wrist problem, while Holger Rune and Jack Draper have also withdrawn.
