World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the French Open due to a suspected wrist injury, raising doubts about his participation in the rest of the clay court swing.
- Alcaraz had opened his Barcelona Open campaign with a straight-sets win over Otto Virtanen, but was seen consulting the physio mid-match about wrist pain.
- He admitted: โWith little rest time between one tournament and another, small details and discomforts always come up. Tomorrow Iโll see with my physio how it is, and hopefully itโs nothing.โ
- The Spaniard hopes to recover in time for the Madrid Open, but faces a race against time to be fit for Roland Garros next month.
The injury comes at a crucial stage, with Alcaraz aiming to defend his No.1 ranking and add another Grand Slam to his resume.
