Carlos Alcaraz, currently ranked World No. 2, has raised concerns about his participation in the upcoming French Open due to a right wrist injury. This injury follows a disappointing loss in the Monte Carlo final, which resulted in him losing his World No. 1 ranking to Jannik Sinner. Alcaraz has already withdrawn from the Barcelona Open and will skip the Madrid Open for the second year in a row, leading to a lack of match practice ahead of Roland Garros. Speaking at the Laureus Sports Awards, he stated, “I’d rather come back a little later but in great shape than come back early, rushing around, and unwell.” He acknowledged that upcoming tests will be crucial in determining the extent of his injury and the next steps. If Alcaraz is unable to compete at his best, it could significantly alter the dynamics of the clay-court season, particularly with Sinner in strong form and aiming for a record-breaking fifth consecutive ATP title.
