Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz says he will miss next month’s French Open because of an ongoing wrist injury.

The world number two withdrew from last week’s Barcelona Open after sustaining an injury to his right wrist in his first-round victory.

Alcaraz, 22, had tests to determine the severity of the issue and has subsequently pulled out of the Italian Open and French Open – both played on clay courts.

“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, while we assess the situation to determine when we can return to the court,” Alcaraz posted on Instagram.

“This is a difficult time for me, but I am sure we will come out of this stronger.”
