Reigning French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz insisted on Monday that he would rather miss defending the Roland Garros title in May than rush treatment on a “serious” wrist injury.
Alcaraz, 22, had pulled out of the Barcelona clay-court tournament last week when he felt his wrist “give out on a return.” He then revealed the injury to be “more serious than expected.”
“I’d rather come back a little later, but in great shape than come back early, rushing around, and unwell. God willing, I have a very long career ahead of me, many years, and pushing myself too hard at this Roland Garros could seriously harm me in future tournaments,” Alcaraz told the press at an award ceremony on Monday.
