It’s been an odd season for Carlos Alcaraz, which feels surprising given how well it began. Despite skipping the usual build-up events, he still managed to win the Australian Open and complete a career Grand Slam faster than anyone before him.

The two-time defending champion said after undergoing medical tests it was best to rest and miss the Grand Slam event.

Now, unfortunately, it’s Carlos Alcaraz’s turn to miss out on a major rematch. A year ago, he saved three match points to beat Jannik Sinner in the best final in Roland Garros history. On Friday, he said that a right wrist injury will keep him from defending his crown.

Arthur Fils has quickly re-established himself as one of the ATP Tour’s most exciting prospects since returning from injury. The Frenchman came back in February following a six-month layoff due to a back issue and has wasted no time making an impact.
