Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws From Cincinnati Open
Caption: Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws From Cincinnati Open. World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open as he continues to recover from a lingering wrist injury. The Spaniard has not played since pulling out of the Barcelona Open in April, forcing him to miss Wimbledon and the chance to defend his French Open title. Alcaraz had been expected to make his return in Cincinnati as part of his preparations for the U.S. Open. Tournament organisers said an ongoing wrist injury would prevent the 2025 Cincinnati champion from competing. The Cincinnati Open begins on 11 August, with the U.S. Open scheduled to start on 30 August. Tournament director Bob Moran said Alcaraz is doing everything possible to return to competition as soon as he can. Moran wished the Spanish star a speedy recovery and said organisers looked forward to welcoming him back in the future. Alcaraz’s withdrawal raises further doubts over his readiness to defend his U.S. Open title later this month. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
