“I was really looking forward to playing… See you next year!”

20-year-old Alcaraz won his first title since last summer’s Wimbledon at Indian Wells last month but was then beaten by Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals of the Miami Open.

It is an important part of the season for the tennis star who is due to defend his titles in Barcelona and Madrid over the next month.

He has been replaced in the Monte Carlo men’s singles draw by Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego.
