Carlos Alcaraz is not the only notable name who is out of Wimbledon due to injury. On the men’s side, top-20 players Lorenzo Musetti and Valentin Vacherot have also withdrawn.
Due to a foot injury, Vacherot withdrew from the French Open prior to his second-round match. The world No. 20 from Monaco will miss the entire grass-court swing.
Musetti has not played since Rome because of a thigh issue. The 15th-ranked Italian was hoping to be ready for Wimbledon, but he announced his exit on Tuesday.
“I want to update you on my recovery from the injury I sustained in Rome: rehabilitation is going very well and the medical results are encouraging,” Musetti wrote via social media. “Unfortunately, as I have not yet been able to begin a full athletic training program, and after careful evaluation, we have come to the difficult conclusion that I will not be able to participate in Wimbledon this year.
“It is not an easy decision, but it is the right one. My priority is to return to the court at 100%. Thank you for your continued support — see you soon.”
rough year for Musetti
