World No. 5 Lorenzo Musetti posted a practice video from the Monte Carlo Country Club, captioning it 'Back at the office,' signaling recovery progress amid injury concerns. The update arrives days before the Monte Carlo Masters starts on April 5, following his recent withdrawal from the Miami Open due to a right arm issue.
The Instagram Stories clip shows Musetti moving sharply on court, providing reassurance after he pulled out of the Miami Open last minute, as previously reported. Earlier setbacks included retiring while leading Novak Djokovic two sets to love in the Australian Open quarterfinals (upper-right leg injury), skipping Acapulco, and an opening-round loss at Indian Wells upon return. Musetti has thrived on clay, reaching the 2025 Monte Carlo final (lost to Carlos Alcaraz), semifinals in Madrid, Rome, and the French Open, with an 18-4 record that season. He calls clay his 'natural habitat' and favorite surface, boosting expectations for defending points here.
