Overview
- The Cincinnati Open confirmed on Tuesday that Alcaraz has pulled out of the August 13–23 Masters 1000 event and the tournament director offered public support for his recovery.
- Alcaraz has not played since he retired from the Barcelona Open in April and has already missed Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros and Wimbledon because of the same right‑wrist problem.
- By not defending his 2025 Cincinnati title he will forfeit 1,000 ATP points, a loss that could change his ranking position depending on rivals’ results over the next month.
- Medical specialists have diagnosed De Quervain tenosynovitis and warned the condition could force a longer layoff or require changes to his forehand technique if healing stalls.
- There is no return date from Alcaraz’s team and his availability for the US Open remains undecided, so the next two to four weeks of rehab and testing will determine the short‑term course of his season.
