Latest News About Carlos Alcaraz Wimbledon Withdrawal

Carlos Alcaraz has officially withdrawn from Wimbledon 2026 due to a persistent right wrist injury, after already pulling out of the French Open earlier in the month. He cited ongoing recovery and the need to return at full strength rather than rush back, and he said he will miss both Queen’s and Wimbledon but will continue to work toward a swift return.[1][2][3]

Key points

• Wimbledon status: Withdrawn (2026). This follows his earlier withdrawal from the French Open due to the same wrist issue.[2][1]
• Reason: Ongoing wrist inflammation/tenosynovitis, with an emphasis on prioritizing long-term health and full readiness rather than immediate return.[1][2]
• History at Wimbledon: Alcaraz is a two-time Wimbledon champion (2023, 2024) and was runner-up in 2025, so the withdrawal marks a notable absence from the grass season.[2][1]

Context and implications

• For this season, he’s also missed other events (Madrid/Italian Open, etc.) as part of the wrist injury cycle; organizers and fans should adjust expectations accordingly.[3][1]
• The decision aligns with a cautious approach seen in top players who prioritize long-term health over immediate comebacks, especially when returning could risk relapse before major targets like Roland Garros or the rest of the season.[1][2]
