According to The Independent, seven‑time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open amid ongoing injury concerns, withdrawing just days before the event begins.
Alcaraz, who has been sidelined since April, cited persistent injury issues that have prevented him from competing at his usual level. The withdrawal comes after a period of limited play, and the decision was confirmed by the tournament officials shortly after it was announced.
Alcaraz’s absence is significant as he is one of the top players in the world and was expected to be a strong contender in the tournament, potentially impacting the draw and fan expectations.
