Carlos Alcaraz has pulled out of Wimbledon while citing an ongoing injury, following his withdrawal from the French Open.
Alcaraz took to social media on Tuesday to announce the news, which will also see him miss Queen’s, the London grass-court tournament that many players use as a warm-up for Wimbledon.
The update follows news in April that the Spaniard, 23, would not compete at the French Open in Paris, which began this week.
“My recovery is going well and I feel much better, but unfortunately I’m still not ready to be able to play,” Alcaraz wrote on Tuesday.
“And that’s why I have to withdraw from the grass-court swing at Queen’s and Wimbledon. They are two really special tournaments for me and I’ll miss them a lot.
“We keep working to return as soon as possible!”
Alcaraz is a two-time champion at Wimbledon, having beaten Novak Djokovic in back-to-back finals in 2023 and 2024. He then finished as runner-up last season, as he was defeated by Jannik Sinner.
Alcaraz, a former world No 1 who is currently ranked second in the world, is also a two-time champion at Queen’s. He lifted the trophy there in 2023 and 2025.
