Carlos Alcaraz: World number two withdraws from Cincinnati Open with wrist injury

Carlos Alcaraz, the world number two, has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open due to a lingering wrist injury. The Spanish player has not competed since pulling out of the Barcelona Open in April, also missing Wimbledon and the French Open, where he was the defending champion. Alcaraz had been expected to use the Cincinnati event as preparation for his US Open title defence, which begins on 30 August.
