Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws from 2026 Cincinnati Open Due to Wrist Injury
Carlos Alcaraz, world No. 2 and seven-time Grand Slam champion, has withdrawn from the 2026 Cincinnati Open due to a persistent right wrist injury sustained in April. This marks his continued absence following missed appearances at the French Open and Wimbledon. The withdrawal delays his return to competitive tennis ahead of the US Open, where he is the defending champion. Tournament organizers expressed support for his recovery, while Alcaraz will forfeit ranking points from Cincinnati and faces uncertainty about his readiness for upcoming events.
