Lorenzo Musetti, there's injury: misses Queen's

Bad news for Lorenzo Musetti. The new world No. 6, who was forced to retire due to a left thigh problem early in the fourth set of his semifinal match with Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros, underwent instrumental examinations that revealed a left adductor injury.

The Carrara player will not be able to participate in Queen&#8217s, ATP 500 scheduled on London&#8217s grass June 16-22. Musetti will lose the 500 points from the final he reached last year where he surrendered in two sets to Tommy Paul of the United States.

“We do not anticipate the verdict – coach Simone Tartarini had told the microphones of Tuttosport – but the MRI confirmed what had already emerged from the examinations in Paris. There are technical times for recovery and forcing it would not make sense”.

“On the’grass the ground can also be very slippery and the adductors get a lot of strain. We don&#8217t make predictions one way or the other. The next few days will be important to make final decisions, again in assonance with what the doctors will say. At the moment I would also talk about the component of bad luck combined with the series of concauses listed earlier. We will try with a view to the future to understand the origin of these problems considering that the physique also has to get used to big marathons such as those to which Lorenzo has undergone in recent months” concluded the coach of the blue.
