Former British number one Greg Rusedski has urged Carlos Alcaraz to take his time recovering from injury after the Spanish star pulled out of the French Open. The world number two has withdrawn from the tournament with a wrist injury, meaning he won't defend his crown.

Two-time defending French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz won't be able to play at Roland Garros this year due to injury. Here's an update on his status:

Two-time defending French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz won’t attempt to defend his title due to a wrist injury.

Jannik Sinner urged Carlos Alcaraz not to rush back after the Spaniard withdrew from Roland Garros with a wrist injury. The defending champion's absence opens up the Paris draw and shifts attention to whether he can return for Wimbledon.

Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz delighted a young fan by commenting on his Instagram video, which humorously discussed the need for 10 million likes and Alcaraz's comment to obtain a ticket to Roland Garros.

It was a big night for tennis as both Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka won individual awards at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid.
