Carlos Alcaraz's comeback has been delayed after the Spaniard withdrew from the Cincinnati Open due to an “ongoing” wrist injury.
The seven-time grand slam champion has been sidelined since suffering the problem during the Barcelona Open, missing the defence of his French Open title and Wimbledon.
In the lead-up to the tournament, Alcaraz posted videos of himself making a tentative return to the court. But on Tuesday, organisers announced on X that the 2025 champion would be missing the tournament.
Tournament director Bob Moran said in a statement provided to the BBC that the 23-year-old was suffering from an “ongoing wrist injury”. “We know Carlos is doing everything he can to get back to playing tournaments as soon as possible,” he said.
Why this matters: Alcaraz's continued absence extends a significant period on the sidelines for one of tennis's leading players, impacting the competitive field at major tournaments.
What this means for you: Fans will not see Alcaraz compete at the Cincinnati Open as he continues his recovery from the wrist injury.
