Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws From Wimbledon Due to Persistent Wrist Injury

He added, "Wir werden weiter daran arbeiten, so schnell wie möglich zurückzukommen." ("We will continue to work to come back as soon as possible.")

Recent Dominance Cut Short

Alcaraz, who became the youngest player to win all four Grand Slam tournaments, had been in exceptional form before his injury. He won the Australian Open in January against Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five-set match (2:6, 6:2, 6:3, 7:5) and had previously claimed back-to-back Wimbledon titles in 2023 and 2024, defeating Djokovic both times.

His absence from Wimbledon marks a significant blow to the tournament, where he was considered a top contender. Alcaraz has described Queen's Club and Wimbledon as "special" tournaments, making his withdrawal particularly disappointing for fans.

Grass-Court Season Impact

The Spaniard's withdrawal extends his hiatus from competitive play, with no clear timeline for his return. His last match was in mid-April, and his recovery process has been closely monitored. Despite progress, medical assessments determined he was not fit to compete on grass.

Alcaraz's absence reshapes the field at Wimbledon, where he had established himself as a dominant force. His back-to-back victories in 2023 and 2024 had solidified his reputation as one of the sport's brightest stars.
