New Delhi [India], May 19 (ANI): Carlos Alcaraz has announced that he will not take part in the HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club or Wimbledon due to a wrist injury. The world No. 2 in the ATP Rankings is currently recovering and will focus on rehabilitation before returning to competition.
“My recovery is going well, and I feel much better, but unfortunately, I’m still not ready to be able to play, and that’s why I have to withdraw from the grass-court swing at Queen’s and Wimbledon. They are two really special tournaments for me, and I’ll miss them a lot. We keep working to return as soon as possible!” Alcaraz wrote in an X post.
Mi recuperación va por buen camino y me siento mucho mejor, pero desgraciadamente aún no estoy listo para poder jugar y por eso tengo que renunciar a la gira de hierba en Queen’s y Wimbledon. Son dos torneos realmente especiales para mí y los echaré mucho de menos. Seguimos… pic.twitter.com/6IL0APkv5G

Wimbledon takes place from 29 June to 12 July, a tournament where Alcaraz is a two-time men’s singles champion.
Alcaraz last competed at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, where he won his opening-round match against Otto Virtanen before withdrawing ahead of his second-round encounter.
Before that, the Spaniard featured in the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, finishing runner-up after losing the final to Jannik Sinner.
Alcaraz slipped to World No. 2 in the Rankings after his Monte-Carlo final loss to Sinner.
Alcaraz, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, required treatment on his right wrist and forearm during his opening-round win at the Barcelona Open on April 14.
Days later, at the Laureus World Sports Awards 2026, where he was named Sportsman of the Year, Alcaraz was seen wearing a brace on his right wrist, underlining ongoing concerns around the injury. (ANI)
