Caption: Two-Time Champion Alcaraz Pulls Out Of Wimbledon With Wrist Injury. Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from this year’s Wimbledon Championships because of a wrist injury. The world number two suffered the problem in his right wrist during the first round of the Barcelona Open and has not returned to competition since. Alcaraz had already pulled out of French Open as he continued his recovery from the injury. In a message posted on Instagram, the Spaniard said: “My recovery is going well and I'm feeling much better, but unfortunately I'm still not ready to compete.” The 23-year-old will also miss the grass-court season, including the tournament at Queen's Club Championships, where he is a two-time winner. Alcaraz won Wimbledon in 2023 and 2024 before losing last year’s final to Jannik Sinner. His absence is expected to boost Sinner’s chances at Wimbledon after the Italian recently became world number one and dominated the ATP Tour in recent months. Alcaraz previously admitted he did not want to risk worsening the injury, saying he still had “a very long career ahead.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
