Musetti pulls out of Miami with injury | OneFootball

After the shock of the withdrawal of Serbian Novak Djokovic (4th), the Miami Open added another forgettable piece of news this Wednesday, when Italian Lorenzo Musetti (5th) announced that he will not participate just hours before the start of the main draw.

Despite returning to activity in Indian Wells, the Wimbledon 2024 and Roland Garros 2025 semifinalist, who had a traumatic retirement against the legendary Balkan at the Australian Open, announced his withdrawal from the second Masters 1000 of the season due to ongoing physical issues with his right thigh, an area that had already prevented him from participating in the tournaments held in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and Acapulco.

Consequently, the 24-year-old from Carrara will lose the 100 points he gained in the previous edition by advancing to the round of 16, leaving him with 4,175 points and he could drop out of the ATP world ranking top 10 for the first time since April 2025 if Australian Alex de Minaur (6th), locals Taylor Fritz (7th) and Ben Shelton (9th), Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (8th), and Russian Daniil Medvedev (10th) deliver outstanding performances.

Thus, the event organized in Miami Gardens since 2019 will lose another title favorite, marking its tenth withdrawal in the main draw, joining Danish Holger Rune (28th), Dutch Tallon Griekspoor (29th), Spaniard Jaume Munar (35th), Czech Vit Kopriva (60th), his compatriot Lorenzo Sonego (62nd), Argentine Juan Manuel Cerúndolo (71st), host Eliot Spizzirri (79th), and Chinese Juncheng Shang (261st).
