Carlos Alcaraz has pulled out of the French Open and Wimbledon due to a wrist issue that has sparked debate over its exact nature. Rafael Nadal offered reassurance based on his own experience with a similar problem.
Alcaraz won his first-round match at the Barcelona Open against Otto Virtanen before withdrawing from his second-round contest against Tomas Machac. He later announced he would skip Roland Garros and the upcoming Wimbledon tournament, which starts in about 40 days. Spanish media reported he is dealing with De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, an inflammation of the tendon sheath in the wrist and thumb caused by repetitive stress.
