Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz, who posted the news on Friday after fresh scans, said he will miss Roland Garros and the Italian Open to protect his right wrist.
- The injury began in his Barcelona opener against Otto Virtanen, where he won but withdrew the next day with pain in his hitting hand.
- He had already pulled out of the Madrid Open after tests showed the problem was worse than first thought, and he has set no return date.
- With the two-time champion out, Jannik Sinner is seen as the front-runner in Paris, and he urged Alcaraz not to rush back from a risky wrist issue.
- The setback halts a standout year in which Alcaraz won the Australian Open to complete a career Grand Slam, and it could cost him ranking ground as the French Open draw loses a marquee name.
