Tenth-ranked Lorenzo Musetti announced Wednesday that he won't be able to compete at the French Open this month due to a left thigh injury.

Musetti, who reached the semifinals at Roland Garros last year, sustained the injury during his 6-3, 6-1 loss to Casper Ruud of Norway on Tuesday in the fourth round of the Italian Open in Rome.

'After yesterday's match, I underwent medical examinations which revealed a rectus femoris injury, requiring several weeks of rest and recovery,' the 24-year-old Italian wrote on Instagram. 'Unfortunately, this means I won't be able to compete (at an ATP 500 event in Hamburg on May 17-23) 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.'

A leg injury led to him retiring from his French Open semifinal match against Carlos Alcaraz of Spain.
