Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has announced he will miss Wimbledon this summer due to a wrist tendinitis injury, marking his second consecutive Grand Slam withdrawal after he also pulled out of Roland Garros in April. The 23-year-old, who won the Australian Open in January, confirmed the news on social media, saying his recovery is progressing well but that he is "not yet ready to play." His absence hands Jannik Sinner — the Italian world number one who has won every Masters tournament so far in 2026 — a clear path to favouritism at both clay and grass Grand Slams this season.
