The wrist injury that kept Carlos Alcaraz out of Roland-Garros has also ended his hopes of playing Wimbledon in 2026. The seven-time major champion announced the news on social media on Tuesday.
“My recovery is going well and I feel much better, but unfortunately I’m still not ready to be able to play, and that’s why I have to withdraw from the grass-court swing at Queen’s and Wimbledon,” Alcaraz wrote. “They are two really special tournaments for me and I’ll miss them a lot. We keep working to return as soon as possible!”
Alcaraz originally injured the right wrist during his first-round match against Otto Virtanen in Barcelona in April. He won the match but pulled out of the tournament after that and has not played since.
Alcaraz is 22-3 on the season with a seventh major title coming at this year’s Australian Open, where he became the youngest player in history to complete the Career Grand Slam.
He is a two-time Wimbledon champion, winning the title in 2023 and 2024, before losing to Jannik Sinner in last year’s final.
