Carlos Alcaraz Awaits Comeback After Injury
Carlos Alcaraz is recovering from a wrist injury, with his return to competition still uncertain. The World No. 2 has not competed since the Barcelona Open in mid-April.
Alcaraz suffered an injury that has kept him out of action for over two months, causing him to lose ground to Jannik Sinner in the rankings.
He will lose 500 points from his ranking due to his absence from the Queen's Club Championships and 1,300 points from not competing at Wimbledon.
The 23-year-old Spaniard is set to drop further in the rankings, making his comeback even more crucial for regaining his position as World No. 1.
Alcaraz has been working towards a comeback, recently spotted training as part of his preparations.
The US Open is believed to be Alcaraz's main target for his return, with a potential appearance at the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open beforehand.
However, further medical evaluations are still required to assess the extent of his recovery, and there is no clear timeline for his return to competition.
Alcaraz was recently seen attending a concert by reggaeton artist Ozuna in Marbella, where he took photographs with fans and signed autographs.
The young Spaniard also appeared in a social media video dancing and enjoying a party with friends in Spain.
One of his friends shared the video online, showing Alcaraz enjoying his free time, and it quickly spread across social media platforms.
Influencer Sophie Julia also shared a photo alongside the Spaniard, showcasing his ability to balance his recovery with his personal life.
Alcaraz's season had begun ideally, with victory at the Australian Open making him the youngest player to complete the Career Grand Slam.
He left Melbourne as World No. 1 and extended his winning run upon returning at the Qatar Open, where he captured a second consecutive title.
The Spaniard's winning streak reached 16-0 before suffering his first defeat of the year in the Indian Wells semi-finals against Daniil Medvedev.
On June 19, 2026, Alcaraz was spotted dancing at a party with friends, and the video was shared on social media, giving fans a glimpse into his life outside of tennis.
