The Shocking Withdrawal

Carlos Alcaraz has been forced to withdraw from Wimbledon as he continues his recovery from the wrist injury that will force him out of action for at least three months during the most significant part of the tennis season.

Alcaraz's Injury Timeline

Alcaraz has not competed since withdrawing from his second-round match at the Barcelona Open last month after feeling pain in his right wrist in his opening match of the tournament. The 20-year-old had already been forced to withdraw from the rest of the clay court season, including the French Open, which begins on Sunday.

The Statement from Alcaraz

“My recovery is going well and I’m feeling much better, but unfortunately I’m still not ready to compete, which is why I have to withdraw from the grass-court swing at Queen’s and Wimbledon,” Alcaraz wrote in a statement on social media. “They are two truly special tournaments for me and I will miss them a lot. We’ll keep working to come back as soon as possible!”

Alcaraz's Achievements

Alcaraz is the reigning champion at Roland Garros, where he defeated Jannik Sinner in one of the greatest grand slam finals of all time. The Spanish player, a two-time champion at Wimbledon, reached the final there last year, losing to Sinner in four sets.
