Alcaraz out of French Open

Carlos Alcaraz will not defend his French Open title this year as he continues to struggle with a significant injury to his right wrist.

The world number one announced his withdrawal from the entire clay-court season, stating that he needs more time for proper rehabilitation to avoid permanent damage.

His absence leaves the field wide open for the second Grand Slam of the year and marks a major blow to the tournament's star power.

Alcaraz expressed his disappointment but emphasized that his long-term health and career longevity must take priority over immediate competition.
