Alcaraz withdraws from Monte Carlo Masters over arm injury

Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the Monte Carlo Masters ahead of his opening match due to an injury to his right arm.

World number three Alcaraz announced this in a statement on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday.

He wrote: “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! 🥲

Alcaraz beats Medvedev to retain Indian Wells title

“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.
