Carlos Alcaraz to miss Wimbledon as injury problems persist
The two-time champion will also miss Queen’s, while it was already confirmed that he would be absent from the French Open, which began this week
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 would not compete at the French Open in Paris , which began this week, due to a wrist problem.

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. The 23-year-old 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, is also a two-time champion at Queen’s. He lifted the trophy there in 2023 and 2025. Alcaraz’s withdrawal from Wimbledon leaves Sinner as a huge favourite at the grass-court major, just as the Italian is on the clay of the French Open.
