Carlos Alcaraz, currently ranked World No. 2, has withdrawn from the French Open due to a wrist injury sustained during the opening round of the Barcelona Open. Following medical evaluations, his team has decided to prioritize recovery, aiming for a cautious return to the court. Alcaraz expressed his intention to focus on the upcoming grass-court season, particularly the Queen’s Club Championships, where he is the defending champion, and Wimbledon, where he reached the final last year. Reports indicate that the injury, described as inflammation of the tendon sheath, is not serious and should not hinder his long-term career. His absence from Roland Garros significantly alters the tournament landscape, potentially benefiting players like Jannik Sinner, who now have a clearer path to success. Alcaraz remains optimistic about his recovery and is determined to return stronger on grass.
