World No. 1 Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who was previously a champion at Wimbledon, will miss this week’s Davis Cup Final 8 match due to injury, according to a tweet on X from Tuesday.
“I’m very sorry to inform you that I will not be able to compete in Bologna with Spain.” The 22-year-old six-time Grand Slam champion said, “My right hamstring is swelling, and the medical advice is not to play.”
“I’ve always said that helping the Spanish team fight for the Davis Cup trophy is the best thing there is,” I’ve always said.
Alcaraz made the announcement two days after losing to Italian world number two Jannik Sinner 7-6 (7/4), 7-5 in the title-winning ATP Finals matchup in Turin.
With hosts Italy aiming for a third title in a row, Sinner had already made the announcement that he would miss the event.
Lorenzo Musetti, Italy’s second-highest player, has also withdrawn from his side because his wife is expecting a child.
According to International Tennis Federation CEO Ross Hutchins, “Those are very three specific cases.”
You can see why those incidents occurred this year, he continued.
The other nations competing for the title in Bologna include Austria, France, Belgium, Czech Republic, Argentina, and Germany.
