Carlos Alcaraz extends recovery, skips Wimbledon due to wrist injury

Spanish world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, a seven‑time Grand Slam champion, continues his rehabilitation after a wrist injury forced him to miss the French Open and confirmed his withdrawal from Wimbledon. Training footage from Murcia shows him running and working without a wrist brace, indicating progress, but no return date has been set for the US hard‑court season.

Former champion Garbiñe Muguruza cautioned that Alcaraz’s wrist injury is complex and requires a careful approach, noting that grass is not ideal for a swift comeback. She emphasized the psychological pressure of ranking points and the need for a measured return before the U.S. summer swing.

Alcaraz remains ATP No. 2, with Jannik Sinner now leading the rankings. Missing two majors this season could affect his ranking position, making his performance in upcoming U.S. events crucial.
