Alcaraz’s statement
The reigning French Open champion shared his disappointment in a message to fans. “My recovery is going well and I feel much better, but unfortunately I’m still not ready to be able to play, and that’s why I have to withdraw from the grass‑court swing at Queen’s and Wimbledon. They are two really special tournaments for me and I’ll miss them a lot. We keep working to return as soon as possible,” Alcaraz said.

Looking ahead
Despite the disappointment, Alcaraz remains optimistic about his recovery and is focused on returning to full strength. His team continues to monitor progress, with the aim of ensuring he is fit for the upcoming summer tournaments.
