Carlos Alcaraz pulls out of French Open title defence due to wrist injury

Carlos Alcaraz has been forced to withdraw from the French Open due to the wrist injury he suffered last week in his first round match at the Barcelona Open.

Alcaraz has won the French Open for the past two years – including a classic final against Jannik Sinner last year – and he began the clay court season favoured to win his third consecutive title in Paris. After losing in the Monte Carlo Masters final to Sinner, Alcaraz attempted to compete in Barcelona two days later, where he injured his wrist in his first-round match.
