Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz won’t attempt to defend his French Open title due to a right wrist injury.
Alcaraz posted on X on Friday that neither would he play in the preceding Italian Open in Rome, where he also won last year.
No. 2-ranked Alcaraz was injured at the Barcelona Open this month during his first-round win and withdrew the day after.
He pulled out of this week’s Madrid Open and attended the Laureus World Sports Awards in the Spanish capital on Monday with his wrist immobilized. Alcaraz was named world sportsman of the year at the gala.
