Alcaraz Withdraws From Wimbledon and Entire Grass Season With Right Wrist Injury

Overview

• Carlos Alcaraz said his right wrist is improving but not ready for match play, so he pulled out of Queen’s and Wimbledon.
• He had already skipped Barcelona and Roland Garros with the same injury and has stressed a slow, long-term recovery.
• Jannik Sinner, who rose to No. 1 last month, has extended his surge with six straight Masters 1000 titles, including Rome.
• With the two-time Wimbledon champion out, seeding and the draw change, and the title picture could tilt toward Sinner.
• Alcaraz praised Sinner in a social post, said he misses their rivalry, and noted he plans to return soon after starting 2026 by winning the Australian Open to become the youngest man with a career Grand Slam.
