Following an incredible 2025 on clay courts, Carlos Alcaraz’s clay season may be pretty short this year. He reached the Monte-Carlo Masters final on Sunday, April 12, when he lost to Jannik Sinner, only to withdraw from the Barcelona Open three days later after injuring his right wrist. The Spaniard then withdrew from the Madrid Open this week after undergoing tests on his wrist last week. He is the reigning champion at Madrid.
Now, the question becomes whether or not Alcaraz will compete at the French Open at the end of May. He’s the defending champion at Roland Garros after he beat Sinner in a five-set match for the ages last June. He was aiming to continue his incredible run at the majors, as he also just won the Australian Open and U.S. Open—the win down under completed his career grand slam.
