Muscat: Tournament organizers have confirmed that defending champion Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the upcoming Cincinnati Open due to a persistent wrist injury. According to Oman News Agency, the 23-year-old Spaniard had been scheduled to return to competitive action at the ATP Masters 1000 event, marking his first appearance since retiring from the Barcelona Open in April. His absence from the tour has extended through the French Open, where he was unable to defend his title, as well as Wimbledon, as he continued his rehabilitation. Alcaraz, currently ranked World No. 2, claimed the Cincinnati crown last year following the withdrawal of World No. 1 Jannik Sinner from the final. The Cincinnati Open is set to take place during 13-23 August.
