Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the Rome and Roland Garros tournaments due to injury, shifting his recovery focus toward the upcoming grass-court season.
Carlos Alcaraz has officially withdrawn from both the Italian Open and Roland Garros due to an ongoing injury sustained in Barcelona, marking a devastating blow to his season as he prepares to drop 3,000 ranking points. Following scans that previously forced him out of the Mutua Madrid Open, the Spaniard confirmed he will skip the remainder of the clay-court swing to focus on recovery.
“After the results of the tests carried out today, we have decided that the most prudent thing is to be cautious and not participate in Rome and Roland Garros, while we wait to assess the evolution to decide when we will return to the court,” Alcaraz announced via social media, adding, “It’s a complicated moment for me, but I’m sure we’ll come out stronger from here.” The defending champion in both Rome and Paris now faces an uncertain timeline for a return, with hopes pinned on being fit for the grass-court season and a title defense at Wimbledon.
