At 22 years old, Alcaraz underwent medical tests to assess the severity of the injury. Following the evaluations, he decided to withdraw from both the Italian Open and the French Open, tournaments played on clay courts.
"After the results of the tests carried out today, we have decided that the most prudent thing to do is to be cautious and not participate in Rome or Roland Garros, while we assess the situation to determine when we can return to the court," Alcaraz posted on Instagram.
"This is a difficult time for me, but I am sure we will come out of this stronger."
