UPDATE 1-Tennis-Alcaraz to miss Wimbledon as he continues to recover from wrist injury

"My recovery is going well and ‌I feel much better, 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," the 2023 and 2024 Wimbledon champion wrote on ⁠X. Alcaraz's rivalry with Italian Jannik Sinner has captivated men's tennis ​and his absence from the next two Grand Slam tournaments ⁠is a huge blow to fans and broadcasters alike.

Carlos Alcaraz ​says he will skip ​Wimbledon as he recovers ‌from ​the right wrist injury that also forced the Spaniard out of the French ‌Open, the world number two said on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old seven-time Grand Slam champion has not played since withdrawing from the ‌Barcelona Open last month. "My recovery is going well and ‌I feel much better, 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," the 2023 and 2024 Wimbledon champion wrote on ⁠X.

Alcaraz's rivalry with Italian Jannik Sinner has captivated men's tennis ​and his absence from the next two Grand Slam tournaments ⁠is a huge blow to fans and broadcasters alike. The pair contested ⁠an ​epic French Open final last year with Alcaraz coming back to win the title before Sinner turned the ⁠tables to take the Wimbledon crown.

Alcaraz became the youngest man ⁠to complete ⁠the career Grand Slam this year when he won the Australian Open.
