While attending the 2026 Laureus World Sports Awards, Alcaraz spoke about his recovery, saying his next test would be “crucial” and left questions about whether he’ll be ready for Roland-Garros.
Now, former Wimbledon semi-finalist John Isner has given his view on Alcaraz’s ongoing fitness issues.

It’s a right wrist injury! ” he said. “You can’t practice right now.
“He is out of Madrid, there is a decent chance he could miss Rome as well, you don’t want to mess around with a wrist injury. Isner offered his view on whether the 21-year-old can recover in time for Roland Garros and what it might mean for the French Open. “It doesn’t mean he can’t win Roland Garros because he’s that supremely talented, but this is a huge deal,” Isner said.
