Former World No.1 Andy Roddick opined that there will ‘definitely’ a concern that Carlos Alcaraz could miss Wimbledon. The Spaniard recently opted out of the Italian Open and Roland Garros after suffering a right-hand wrist injury.

Alcaraz is the defending champion at the French Open but he won’t be able to defend his crown. The 22-year-old had qualified for the Wimbledon final in the previous season but suffered a loss against his arch-rival Jannik Sinner.

Wimbledon will kick off from June 29.

“Of course, because we don’t know anything,” Andy Roddick said on his podcast ‘Served with Roddick’.

“If you’re pulling out of tournaments four weeks in advance, yeah, you’re definitely concerned.

“We’re guessing, we’re guessing based on context clues. If you finished a match in Barcelona, I know you called the trainer during that, it feels like wear and tear.

“We’re hoping it’s not a major injury; the context clues don’t suggest that it was something that was ripped, torn in a major way, and we hope that’s the case.

“But f– I do podcasts, I’m not a doctor!”

Roddick then suggested a schedule change could be on the cards for Alcaraz in 2027.

“By the way, he has not been scared to take tournaments off going into Roland Garros the past two years,” he said.

“So maybe don’t play back-to-back weeks on clay anymore. You’ve gotten hurt in Barcelona while trying to tack it on to Monte Carlo the last couple of years.

“I know it’s easier said than done, local pressures, it’s in your hometown, and everything else. Curious if you kind of take a step back and start scheduling maybe a little bit differently.”

Alcaraz would want to make a solid comeback on the tour.
