Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws From Rome and Roland Garros After Wrist Tests

Medical tests on his right wrist prompted a cautious withdrawal that leaves Paris without its two-time reigning champion.

Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz, who disclosed Friday's test results, said he will skip the Rome Masters and Roland Garros to be cautious on medical advice.
  • The injury surfaced in Barcelona against Otto Virtanen, after which he withdrew from the next match and later pulled out of the Madrid Masters.
  • Reports describe tendon inflammation in his right wrist with some cartilage involvement, and he has been wearing a splint to immobilize the area.
  • He gave no return date as his team monitors recovery, with the grass-court swing at Queen’s and Wimbledon now the tentative target.
  • Missing Rome and Paris will cost about 3,000 ATP points and strengthens Jannik Sinner’s grip on No. 1, with many analysts installing him as the Roland Garros favorite.
