Alcaraz Withdraws From Cincinnati

World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz will not defend his title at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Ohio, which begins August 13. The Spanish star, who sustained a wrist injury in April during the Barcelona Open, remains sidelined as he continues rehabilitation.

The seven-time Grand Slam champion's withdrawal raises questions about his participation in the upcoming US Open, where he is the defending champion. Alcaraz has already missed Roland-Garros and Wimbledon this season. Tournament director Bob Moran expressed support, saying: 'We wish him all the best with his rehabilitation and look forward to welcoming him back to Cincinnati in the future.' chickenroad.qpon
