Overview
- Reports on Thursday said Carlos Alcaraz is not on the entry list for the Montreal Masters 1000, signaling he will skip the tournament as he continues rehab from a right wrist injury.
- Alcaraz has been sidelined since mid-April after retiring from his Barcelona match with Tomas Machac and subsequently missed Rome, Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
- His camp says recovery is progressing and he has shared training videos from rehab; a final examination with Dr. Cotorro in Barcelona is set to decide if he starts an intensive, short preparation phase.
- The team has identified the Cincinnati tournament as the likely competitive return if tests and the next weeks of preparation go smoothly, with the aim of arriving at the US Open in better form.
- The comeback remains conditional and closely watched because wrist injuries can have lasting effects on players’ careers, a concern voiced by figures such as Boris Becker and tennis specialists.
