Lorenzo Musetti has withdrawn from the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC in Acapulco.
The Italian is still recovering from the psoas muscle injury that forced him to retire from his Australian Open quarter-final against Novak Djokovic last month. The No. 5 in the PIF ATP Rankings, Musetti led Djokovic by two sets in Melbourne when he was forced to retire.
“Hello everyone. I have to communicate that unfortunately I cannot compete in Acapulco,” said Musetti in an Instragram video in Spanish. “My body has to recover more and the recuperation is going to take longer. I was really looking forward to returning to Mexico and playing there. I send a hug to all the fans in Mexico and the tournament, and I hope you have a great time.”
Musetti is currently 7-2 for the 2026 season, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. The 23-year-old, who ended last year by making his debut at the Nitto ATP Finals, began this year by reaching the final in Hong Kong before his run to the last eight in Melbourne.
