Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws From Wimbledon and Queen’s With Wrist Injury

The decision reshapes the Wimbledon field in Jannik Sinner’s favor.

Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz, who disclosed Tuesday on social media, will skip the entire grass season at Queen’s and Wimbledon because his right wrist is not ready to compete.
  • He has been sidelined since injuring the wrist at the Barcelona Open on April 14, after earlier withdrawals from Madrid, Rome and the French Open.
  • The All England Club publicly responded to his announcement, posting that they will miss the two-time champion at this year’s Championships.
  • His absence removes a leading contender, boosts world No. 1 Jannik Sinner’s title odds, and likely increases Sinner’s rankings cushion over the No. 2 Spaniard.
  • No return date is set, with media talk of a July Canadian Open comeback remaining unconfirmed as Alcaraz says rehabilitation continues.
