Wimbledon will be without one of the biggest stars in tennis.
Seven-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz announced on social media that he will withdraw from the tournament he’s won twice.
“My recovery is going well and I’m feeling much better, but unfortunately I’m still not ready to be able to compete, which is why I have to withdraw from the grass-court swing at Queen’s and Wimbledon,” Alcaraz posted to social media.
