Spain’s World Number Three Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws from Italian Open
Carlos Alcaraz, the world number three from Spain, has withdrawn from next week’s Italian Open due to an injury to his right forearm. The prestigious tournament in Rome precedes the highly anticipated French Open, the second Grand Slam event of the season, which is set to commence on May 26th in Paris.
Alcaraz’s title defense at the Madrid Open came to an abrupt end on Wednesday, as he suffered a defeat at the hands of Andrey Rublev in the quarter-finals. The 20-year-old had previously mentioned experiencing discomfort while competing in Madrid.
“Unfortunately, I will not be able to play in Rome. I need to rest so I can recover and play 100% pain free.”
This withdrawal is a significant setback for Alcaraz, who has established himself as one of the rising stars in the world of Tennis. Fans and enthusiasts alike will eagerly await his return to the court, as he aims to regain full fitness and make a strong impression at the upcoming French Open.
