Reigning two-time French Open champion, Carlos Alcaraz, will be sidelined from this year's tournament as he focuses on recovering from a wrist injury, leading to concerns over his absence at the upcoming event.

Carlos Alcaraz, the Spanish tennis sensation, has announced his withdrawal from the French Open as he continues his recovery from a wrist injury sustained during the Barcelona Open.

After losing his top spot in the world rankings following a defeat at the Monte Carlo Masters, Alcaraz is being cautious and opting to skip both the Italian Open and the French Open to focus on his rehabilitation.

The absence of Alcaraz, the youngest player to achieve a career Grand Slam at the Australian Open, opens up opportunities for other players like Jannik Sinner, who expressed disappointment at not being able to compete against the talented Spaniard on the clay courts.

Alcaraz, known for his fighting spirit and remarkable achievements at a young age, aims to return stronger and ready for future tournaments, with a focus on prioritizing his long-term career by ensuring a full recovery from his current injury.
