Carlos Alcaraz will miss Wimbledon due to wrist injury
Summary

Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from Wimbledon as he continues to recover from a wrist injury sustained in April. The two-time champion, who has been sidelined since then, initially planned to defend his French Open title but ultimately decided to skip the entire grass-court season. He is dealing with inflammation in his wrist tendons, prompting a cautious recovery approach to avoid long-term issues. Although he has not undergone surgery, Alcaraz has kept his wrist immobilized in a cast for several weeks and is expected to return before the US Open this summer.
