The 2026 French Open might look a little different this year, with Carlos Alcaraz currently unsure if he will be able to play at Roland-Garros due to a wrist injury. Alcaraz has won the past two French Open titles, including a grueling five-hour comeback against Jannik Sinner last year.In a press conference ahead of the Laureus Awards in Madrid on Monday where he went on to win Sportsman of the Year Alcaraz said that he was waiting on more tests on his wrist before he could determine his availability for this years French Open.Im trying to have a lot of patience these days, but Im doing okay, he said in Spanish, via Teledeporte, adding that he was trying to stay positive.

In a post on social media on Friday, Alcaraz made the incredibly difficult announcement that he would be missing the competition, adding that it hurts not to play in front of his home crowd in Spain. Its the second year in a row that Alcaraz has missed the Madrid Open, pulling out of the competition last year due to injuries in both legs.Hay noticias que cuesta muchsimo dar. Madrid es casa, uno de los lugares ms especiales del calendario para m, y por eso me duele tanto no poder jugar aqu por segundo ao consecutivo. Me duele especialmente no poder estar delante de mi gente, en un torneo que es tan especial. pic.twitter.com/Qr6bznFJod Carlos Alcaraz (@carlosalcaraz) April 17, 2026Additionally, a restaurant in Spain posted a photo on Monday of Alcaraz visiting one of their locations. In the photo, Alcarazs elaborate wrist splint is clearly visible.View this post on InstagramAlcaraz and Sinner have absolutely dominated the mens tennis circuit for the past three years, trading off major tournament titles. The last time a person who wasnt Alcaraz or Sinner won a Grand Slam was in 2023, when Novak Djokovic won the U.S. Open; since then, Alcaraz and Sinner have combined for the past nine Grand Slams.Alcaraz, though, has won the last two Grand Slams in a row, winning the Australian Open in February to become the youngest player to complete a career Grand Slam. He has also been more dominant on the clay, beating Sinner in the past two French Opens.Alcarazs absence would leave the field open for Sinner, who has yet to win at Roland-Garros the only Grand Slam he has yet to pick up. It would also break a streak for the pair, who have faced each other in six Grand Slam finals, including three last year alone.Most recently, Sinner defeated Alcaraz at the Monte-Carlo Masters to retake the No. 1 ATP ranking.
