Lorenzo Musetti faces the Barcelona Open 2026 with optimism despite the setback suffered in Monte Carlo. The Italian returned to competition after several weeks off since Australia and encountered a particularly demanding debut against Valentin Vacherot, one of the standout players in the tournament in the Principality. Beyond the defeat, the Italian was left with positive feelings in a stretch of the calendar where he has historically showcased his best tennis.

The great news for Musetti is that he feels physically ready again. After an injury that halted his progress just when he was going through one of the best moments of his career, the Italian approaches the clay court season with patience, convinced that results will come if his body responds. His statements convey serenity, confidence in the process, and great enthusiasm for what lies ahead.

Musetti faces the clay court season with optimism

"In Monte Carlo it was almost my first match after a few months since Australia, so it wasn't easy to find the rhythm of competition. I think Valentin played really well, as he also demonstrated in the semifinals, so a big congratulations to him for achieving such a result. I believe that on clay, I probably play my best tennis, and it's where I have shown my best level throughout my career. I think I'm doing a good job preparing to compete here, and that's the main goal."

"But for me, the priority is to feel healthy and physically ready to compete again, and that's exactly how I feel right now, so I'm happy about that. I believe the results will come, so I'm not in a hurry."

The work behind an injury

"Others play, win, and move up in the rankings, but I think the only way to face it is to be patient, work, and try to return to where you belong. It's part of the process of an injury that you have to live with."

Relationship with his new coach

"Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to work because just when I felt I was probably playing my best tennis to date, I got injured in Australia. I was out for more than a month, so it wasn't easy to assimilate all that information or try different things in my game. So, we also have to wait a bit for the results to come."

Barcelona, a special tournament

"Surely my coach knows many more people than I do. And of course, I also hope to 'defend his house' here in Barcelona, a city that I love. Additionally, the tournament here is beautiful. I have very nice memories of the matches, of the past editions I played here, and of the audience, the people, the support, which is truly passionate and reminds me a lot of my country. So, I'm very, very happy and eager to start."

Reaching the next level

"I think he has great experience as a coach, also in terms of human relationships, and I believe we still need some time to find the solution we need to achieve those kinds of results and get closer to the top. But we were on the right track in Australia. Unfortunately, we had to stop due to the injury, but I think we were there, so we have to keep climbing and be patient."
