Carlos Alcaraz will leave a sizeable chasm in the draws at Queen\u2019s and Wimbledon after the Spaniard pulled out of the grass-court swing due to injury.<\/p>\n
In late April, the world No 2 said he would miss the French Open<\/a> because of an ongoing wrist problem \u2013 an issue that flared up at the Barcelona Open last month.<\/p>\n The two-time Roland Garros winner was hoping to return at SW19 but on Tuesday, Alcaraz<\/a> announced that his time away from the court will continue.<\/p>\n Alcaraz wrote on X<\/a>, \u201cMy recovery is going well, and I feel much better, but unfortunately, I\u2019m still not ready to be able to play, and that\u2019s why I have to withdraw from the grass-court swing at Queen\u2019s and Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are two really special tournaments for me, and I\u2019ll miss them a lot. We keep working to return as soon as possible!\u201d<\/p>\n ATP Rankings: When could Carlos Alcaraz regain No 1 spot from Jannik Sinner again?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n French Open: Andy Roddick makes telling Jannik Sinner and Rafael Nadal comparison<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Alcaraz will hope that he can mount a defence of his US Open<\/a> title in August but for the time being, getting his body right for his return to the ATP Tour<\/a> is of the utmost importance.<\/p>\n So, where does this leave Alcaraz in terms of prize money and rankings points?<\/p>\n In 2025, Alcaraz won Queen\u2019s by beating Jiri Lehecka in the final in three tight sets. In doing so, he pocketed \u20ac471,755 (\u00a3408,400) and claimed 500 rankings points.<\/span><\/p>\n The Olympic Silver medallist then lost in the Wimbledon final to Jannik Sinner<\/a> in four sets, earning himself \u00a31,520,000 and 1,200 ranking points.<\/p>\n While the prize money for the two grass court tournaments have not been revealed for 2026, they are likely to be in a similar ballpark this season. And, if Alcaraz had matched his 2025 feats this year, he could have pocketed around \u00a32m.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old currently has 11,960 points but as a result he will lose 1,700 points from his tally. That will still keep him second, with third-ranked Alexander Zverev<\/a> currently way back on 5,705.<\/p>\n But his chances to secure the year-end number one ranking appear to be all but over.<\/p>\n After his Italian open triumph, Sinner is now sitting pretty atop the pile on 14,750 points and is the heavy favourite to win this year\u2019s Roland Garros.<\/p>\n Alcaraz beat him in a final for the ages in Paris last year but there will be no such repeat in 2026.<\/p>\n WHAT NEXT? Jannik Sinner told he will never break an \u2018impossible\u2019 tennis record<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post Carlos Alcaraz set for prize money and rankings blow after Wimbledon withdrawal<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Carlos Alcaraz will leave a sizeable chasm in the draws at Queen\u2019s and Wimbledon after the Spaniard pulled out of the grass-court swing due to injury.
