New Delhi: Carlos Alcaraz will miss the upcoming French Open 2026 after confirming he is withdrawing due to a wrist injury. This is a significant setback for his chance to win a third consecutive title at Roland Garros.
The world No. 2 sustained the injury during his first-round match against Otto Virtanen at the Barcelona Open, which forced him to withdraw from that event shortly after. Recent medical tests have now ruled him out of both the Italian Open in Rome and the French Open.
“After the test results we got today, we have decided that the safest choice is to be careful and not participate in Rome or Roland Garros, while we evaluate the situation to figure out when I can get back on the court,” Alcaraz said in a statement on Instagram. “This is a tough time for me, but I believe we will come back stronger.” IANS
