Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws from Cincinnati Open with Lingering Wrist Injury

Carlos Alcaraz is a famous tennis player who is the number two player in the world.

His right wrist has been hurting, so doctors told him to rest and not play.

He has not been in a match since April, when he had to stop at a tournament in Barcelona.

Because of the injury, he has had to skip very big tournaments, including the French Open and Wimbledon.

Now, he has also pulled out of the Cincinnati Open, a tournament he won last year.

He has been practicing and posting videos of his training to show he is getting better.

At the start of this year, Alcaraz won the Australian Open, which means he has now won all four biggest tennis tournaments in the world.

People are worried he might not be ready to defend his title at the U.S. Open at the end of August.

Everyone is hoping his wrist heals soon so he can play again.
