Alcaraz out of French Open

Carlos Alcaraz has officially withdrawn from the 2026 French Open, ending his hopes for a third consecutive title at Roland Garros.

The 22-year-old Spaniard revealed that a persistent right wrist injury, which worsened during the Barcelona Open, has forced him to shut down his entire clay season.

Alcaraz stated that while the decision was difficult, it is necessary to ensure a full recovery and avoid long-term damage to his career.

The absence of the world number one creates a significant void in the tournament draw and shifts the focus to rivals like Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic.
