  • Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open due to a wrist injury.
  • The injury, sustained in April, continues to trouble him and previously caused him to miss the French Open and Wimbledon.
  • Danish player Holger Rune is confirmed to participate in the tournament.

Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz will not compete in this year's Cincinnati Open Masters 1000 tournament due to ongoing issues with a wrist injury. Tournament organizers announced his withdrawal on social media. Alcaraz originally sustained the injury in April, forcing him to pull out of both the French Open and Wimbledon. He had been aiming to make his comeback at the Cincinnati event. "We know that Carlos (Alcaraz) is doing everything he can to return to tournaments as quickly as possible," stated Bob Moran, the tournament director. Alcaraz won the Cincinnati Open last year after his opponent Jannik Sinner retired during the final due to illness. The Cincinnati Open is scheduled to begin on August 13. Meanwhile, Danish player Holger Rune is listed on the tournament's participant roster. This would mark Rune's first tournament since suffering a serious injury in October of last year.
