Carlos Alcaraz will withdraw from the grass-court season, including Queen’s and Wimbledon, because of an ongoing right wrist injury. The injury began during the first round of the Barcelona Open last month, and he has remained sidelined since then. After already withdrawing from the French Open, he confirmed the additional withdrawals while sharing that his recovery is progressing and he feels better, but he is not ready to compete. Alcaraz is a two-time Wimbledon champion and the defending champion at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. His absence may affect the world rankings race, potentially allowing Jannik Sinner to extend his lead.
"My recovery is going well and I'm feeling much better, but unfortunately I'm still not ready to compete, which is why I have to withdraw from the grass-court swing at Queen's and Wimbledon. They are two truly special tournaments for me and I will miss them a lot. We'll keep working to come back as soon as possible."
"The world number two has been sidelined since suffering the problem in his right wrist during the first round of last month's Barcelona Open. After already withdrawing from the French Open, Alcaraz confirmed on Tuesday that he will also miss the entire grass-court season, including Queen's and Wimbledon."
"Alcaraz, 23, began 2026 in impressive fashion by winning the Australian Open and becoming the youngest player to complete the career Grand Slam. However, his season has since been disrupted by injury. The Spaniard had been expected to challenge strongly during both the clay and grass-court swings, but will now miss most of the clay season and the entirety of the grass campaign."
"Alcaraz was the defending champion at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon, having won five of the past nine men's Grand Slam singles titles. Alcaraz's absence is likely to allow Jannik Sinner to extend his lead at the top of the world rankings."
