Jannik Sinner, the Italian tennis player, has voiced his support for Carlos Alcaraz following Alcaraz's withdrawal from the French Open due to a wrist injury. Alcaraz, currently ranked World No. 2, sustained the injury during the opening round of the Barcelona Open and has decided to prioritize recovery, stating that he will not participate in the upcoming tournaments in Rome or Roland Garros. Sinner, who is eyeing a potential Career Slam, emphasized that 'tennis needs Carlos,' underscoring the significance of rivalries in the sport. He believes that the game is better with Alcaraz competing and expressed confidence that Alcaraz will return stronger. With Alcaraz out of the competition, the men's draw at Roland Garros, commencing on May 24, 2026, appears more open, potentially allowing for a new Grand Slam champion outside of the Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry since 2023.
