Carlos Alcaraz ‘pulls out of Madrid Open’ in worrying injury blow before French Open
Carlos Alcaraz is reportedly set to withdraw from the Madrid Open in a major blow to his French Open hopes. Spanish reports claim that there are doubts over the tennis star’s participation in the Italian Open at the start of May, potentially throwing his clay court season and preparation for Roland Garros into disarray.
Alcaraz is due to speak with the media this morning. Reports in his homeland suggest that he will confirm his withdrawal through injury. The 21-year-old has been struggling with an adductor problem which he suffered in his Barcelona Open defeat against Holger Rune. He was beaten 7-6 6-2 in the final against the Dane.
