Alcaraz Withdraws From Wimbledon Over Lingering Right‑Wrist Injury

He will skip the grass season to protect an inflamed right wrist, a decision that strengthens Jannik Sinner’s lead in the ATP rankings.

Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz announced on Tuesday that he is withdrawing from Queen’s and Wimbledon because his right wrist is not yet fit for competition.
  • The injury began at the Barcelona Open in mid‑April and already forced him to miss the Madrid and Rome Masters and Roland Garros as he has continued rehabilitation.
  • Alcaraz has given no return date and his team says the priority is a full recovery rather than a rushed comeback to avoid long‑term damage to the tendon sheath.
  • His absence reshapes tournament fields and seedings, and multiple outlets say it gives world No. 1 Jannik Sinner a clearer path to extend his ranking lead and title chances at the majors.
  • Reports that Alcaraz could target the Canadian Open in July are speculative and contingent on medical progress rather than confirmed plans.
