Carlos Alcaraz has officially withdrawn from Wimbledon as he continues to deal with a wrist injury.
Alcaraz had already withdrawn from Roland Garros because of the issue, which he sustained at the Barcelona Open last month.
He has not played a match on the ATP Tour since then, having also been forced to withdraw from Madrid and Rome.
And Alcaraz will now continue his absence into the grass-court swing, which includes Wimbledon and Queen’s.
Is men’s tennis boring without Carlos Alcaraz?

Releasing a statement confirming his withdrawal from the Grand Slam, Alcaraz posted on his Instagram: “My recovery is going well and I’m feeling much better, but unfortunately I’m still not ready to compete, which is why I have to withdraw from the grass-court swing at Queen’s and Wimbledon.
“They are two truly special tournaments for me and I will miss them a lot.
‘We’ll keep working to come back as soon as possible!”
And the messages of support have already been rolling in for the 23-year-old, with his fellow ATP player Jakub Mensik commenting on the post: “Carlos! All the best! Be strong!”
What is Carlos Alcaraz’s history in the grass-court swing?
Alcaraz’s absence is certain to be felt massively in the upcoming grass-court swing, where he has previously enjoyed huge success.
The Spaniard boasts a mammoth 26 ATP titles in his stellar career so far, and four have arrived on grass courts.
He lifted the prestigious Wimbledon trophy in 2023 and 2024, defeating tennis legend Novak Djokovic in both finals, while he lost to Jannik Sinner at the same stage last year.
And Alcaraz has also twice emerged victorious at Queen’s, claiming the title in 2023 and 2025.
