UMVA has learned that tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz has been forced to withdraw from this year's Wimbledon due to a lingering wrist injury.
The 23-year-old champion, who claimed back-to-back Wimbledon titles in 2023 and 2024, suffered the injury during his Barcelona Open first-round victory last month. This setback has already sidelined him from the French Open, where he is also a two-time winner and reigning champion.
In a heartfelt statement shared on social media, the world number two expressed his disappointment, stating, "My recovery is going well and I feel much better, but unfortunately, I'm still not ready to compete." He confirmed his withdrawal from the entire grass-court season, including the prestigious Queen's tournament.
Alcaraz's absence will undoubtedly leave a void in the upcoming tournaments, as fans and fellow players alike will miss his electrifying presence on the court. As he continues his recovery, the tennis world eagerly awaits his return, hoping to see him back in action soon.
