Carlos Alcaraz, the promising young tennis talent, has unfortunately withdrawn from the Monte Carlo Masters due to a right forearm injury, depriving tennis fans of an anticipated match against Felix Auger-Aliassime. This turn of events comes after Alcaraz was recently overtaken as the world number two by Jannik Sinner. Expressing his disappointment and resilience in the face of this setback, Alcaraz took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a heartfelt statement with his supporters and the tennis community at large.
In a statement on X, the Spaniard posted: “I have been working in Monte Carlo and trying to recover until the last minute from an injured pronator teres in my right arm, but it was not possible and I cannot play!
“I was really looking forward to playing… See you next year”
This disappointing development follows Alcaraz’s recent triumph at Indian Wells last month, where he secured his first title since last summer’s Wimbledon. However, his journey in the Miami Open saw an early conclusion as he was defeated by Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals. Looking ahead, the 20-year-old had been gearing up for an important phase of the season, with plans to defend his titles in Barcelona and Madrid over the next month.
With Alcaraz’s withdrawal, the dynamic of the Monte Carlo men’s singles draw has shifted, as Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego steps in to take his place, offering an exciting twist to the tournament. While it is disheartening to see a talented player like Alcaraz face such challenges, his resilience and determination are evident in his statement, where he expressed his disappointment at not being able to play while also conveying his hope to return next year. Undoubtedly, his fans will stand by him, eagerly awaiting his return to top form and further success in future tournaments.
