Carlos Alcaraz to miss Queen’s Club, Wimbledon due to wrist injury

Carlos Alcaraz announced on social media Tuesday that he will be missing the grass-court season and planned stops in Queen’s Club and Wimbledon due to his continuing wrist injury.

“My recovery is going well and I feel much better,” Alcaraz assured fans in a statement posted to X, “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 They are two really special tournaments for me and I'll miss them a lot.

“We keep working to return as soon as possible! ❤️”

The former world No. 1 was last on court in April when he competed at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell in Spain. Alcaraz, who began the 2026 season by becoming the youngest man to complete the Career Grand Slam, withdrew from the ATP 500 tournament following an opening-round victory over Otto Virtanen.

The 23-year-old later announced his intention to skip the remaining clay-court swing, including Roland Garros, due to the wrist injury.

“After the results of the tests carried out today, we have decided that the most prudent thing to do is to be cautious and not participate in Rome or Roland Garros as we wait to evaluate the progress so we can decide when to return to the court,” Alcaraz wrote at the time. “This is a difficult time for me, but I am sure we will come out of it stronger.”

In his absence, rival Jannik Sinner has ran the table, becoming the youngest man to complete a box set of Masters 1000 titles at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia; he also broke Novak Djokovic’s record for the longest win streak at the Masters level.

Sinner, who played Alcaraz in the finals of Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open, will head to Paris as a clear favorite to complete a Career Grand Slam of his own, while Djokovic continues his quest to win a 25th Grand Slam title—one that would earn him the all-time record for major victories.
