Ohio, August 5: World number 2 tennis player Carlos Alcaraz will not participate in the Cincinnati Open due to a wrist injury. The Spanish athlete has been unable to recover from the injury, prompting him to withdraw from the tournament.
Tournament organizers confirmed Alcaraz’s withdrawal on Wednesday, stating, “Carlos Alcaraz has pulled out of the Cincinnati Open. We wish our 2025 champion a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming him next year.” Alcaraz last competed at the Barcelona Open in April, where he reached the finals of the Monte-Carlo Masters earlier that month.
According to the ATP win/loss index, the 23-year-old Alcaraz holds a record of 22-3 this season and is ranked as the world number 2. He had a strong start to the season, winning the Australian Open and completing his career Grand Slam, with the Melbourne trophy being the last major title he needed. The main draw of the Cincinnati Open will commence on August 13 and run until August 23.
Earlier this year, Alcaraz withdrew from both Wimbledon and the Queens Club Championship in May due to ongoing issues with his right wrist. He also missed the Italian Open and the French Open. Last season, he claimed the French Open title by defeating Jannik Sinner in the finals.
At the Laureus Awards earlier this year, Alcaraz was honored with the “Sportsman of the Year” award. During the event, he was seen wearing a brace on his right wrist, raising further concerns about his future participation in competitions. Alcaraz later confirmed that he had to stay away from competition to prevent aggravating his injury following medical examinations.
