The tennis world got some bad news Friday as Carlos Alcaraz announced on social media that he will not be playing in this year’s French Open due to a wrist injury he suffered earlier this month at the Barcelona Open.
Alcaraz, the two-time defending French Open champion, is currently ranked No. 2 in the world behind his rival, Jannik Sinner. Alcaraz beat Sinner in last year’s final in a thrilling match that went five sets and, at five hours and 29 minutes, was the longest final in French Open history.
