Rafael Nadal has offered support to Carlos Alcaraz after the young Spaniard withdrew from the French Open due to a wrist injury sustained at the Barcelona Open. Nadal, who suffered similar issues twice in his career, praised Alcaraz for prioritizing recovery.
Carlos Alcaraz ended his clay-court season early after injuring his wrist during a first-round win over Otto Virtanen at the Barcelona Open. He secured the victory 6-4, 6-2 but scans later confirmed the damage, forcing him to skip both the Rome Masters and Roland Garros, where he was the defending champion.
