Wimbledon Blow: Carlos Alcaraz Pulls Out of Grass-Court Season Due to Wrist Injury

Two-time Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz has officially announced his withdrawal from next month's grass-court Grand Slam and the entire preparatory season. The decision comes as a result of a lingering right wrist injury sustained at the Barcelona Open last month. This same injury had already forced the Spanish star to pull out of the French Open.

Although Alcaraz shared on his social media platforms that his recovery is progressing well, he admitted that he is still not ready to compete at the highest level. This marks a massive upset for the tournament, especially following Alcaraz's historic start to the year, where his Australian Open victory made him the youngest man ever to win all four major titles. The tennis world will deeply miss his presence and his budding generational rivalry with Jannik Sinner on the grass courts of London.
