TENNIS – Carlos Alcaraz’s hopes of a French Open ‘three-peat’ were effectively ended yesterday after the world number two said a wrist injury has ruled him out of Roland Garros next month.
The seven-times Grand Slam champion picked up the injury in the first round of the Barcelona Open earlier this month before withdrawing from the tournament.
Scans showed the issue was more serious than initially thought, after which the 22-year-old also withdrew from the Madrid Open.
The Spaniard said he would also skip the Masters tournament in Rome.
