Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws From Wimbledon, Skips Grass-Court Season With Wrist Injury

His absence reshapes the Wimbledon field, elevating Jannik Sinner as the favorite.

Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz said Tuesday on social media that he will miss Queen’s and Wimbledon as he continues to recover from a right‑wrist injury.
  • He suffered the injury in mid‑April at the Barcelona tournament and then withdrew from Madrid, Rome, and the French Open.
  • Alcaraz wrote that his recovery is improving and he feels better, yet he is not ready to compete and has not set a return date.
  • With Alcaraz out, Jannik Sinner becomes the leading pick for the All England Club, and Alexander Zverev could benefit from seed and draw shifts.
  • The world No. 2 is a seven‑time major champion who won Wimbledon in 2023 and 2024 and reached the 2025 final, which underscores the impact of his absence.
