Breaking News

Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has announced his withdrawal from the upcoming Internazionali BNL d'Italia, a Masters 1000 event scheduled to be held in Rome from May 8-15, due to an ongoing injury. The announcement comes after Alcaraz's hard-fought performance in the semifinals of the Paris Masters, where he sustained an injury in the second set against Holger Rune.

Injury Concerns

Alcaraz, who is currently ranked third in the ATP rankings, has been struggling with injuries throughout the season. He previously withdrew from the Miami Open in March due to a hamstring problem and has also been dealing with abdominal issues. The latest injury is a cause for concern as it could potentially impact his participation in the upcoming Roland Garros tournament, which is scheduled to begin on May 28.

Disappointment and Optimism

In a statement released on his social media accounts, Alcaraz expressed his disappointment at having to withdraw from the Internazionali BNL d'Italia but remained optimistic about his recovery. He thanked his fans for their support and vowed to return to action as soon as possible. Alcaraz's withdrawal leaves a significant gap in the field for the Rome Masters and will be a blow to the tournament organizers. However, fans will be hopeful that Alcaraz can recover fully and return to his best form in time for Roland Garros, where he will be one of the favorites for the title.
