Carlos Alcaraz ayaa uga tagay tartanka Cincinnati Open dhaawac suuxin ah dartiis, taasoo shaki gelinaysa diyaargarowgiisa difaaca horyaalka US Open. Inkastoo uu ka maqnaa tan iyo Abriil, wali wuxuu dahanka dunida No 2 yahay.
Maqaarkii iyo Dib-u-soo-kicinta
Alcaraz wuxuu garab istaagay ciyaaraha tan iyo markii uu ka baxay Barcelona Open wareegii labaad ee Abriil. Maadaama uu sii waday soo-kabashada, ma uu awoodin inuu difaaco horyaalkiisii French Open wuxuuna seegay Wimbledon.
Alcaraz waa horyaal toddobo Grand Slam ah oo 23 jir ah. Wuxuu xilli-ciyaareedkii ku bilaabay qaadashada Australian Open isagoo noqday ninka ugu da'da yar ee dhameeya Grand Slam-ka shaqadiisa, laakiin dhaawacu wuxuu carqaladeeyay socodkiisa.
Cincinnati iyo Fursadda Winston-Salem
Alcaraz wuxuu guuleystay Cincinnati Open sanadkii hore ka dib markii Jannik Sinner uu ka baxay finalkii. Tartanka Cincinnati Open waa dhacdo ATP Masters 1000 ah oo qorshaysan Agoosto 13-23, laakiin Alcaraz uma uusan qaybgalin.
Winston-Salem Open, oo bilaabmaya Agoosto 23, waa fursadda ugu dambeysa ee Alcaraz u helayo ciyaaraha ka hor US Open. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, Alcaraz weli ma uu tilmaamay inuu ka qaybgalayo tartankaas.
Hadalkii Maamulaha iyo Difaaca US Open
Bob Moran, agaasimaha Cincinnati Open, wuxuu yidhi: "We know Carlos is doing everything he can to get back to playing tournaments as soon as possible." Alcaraz wuxuu seegay Wimbledon, halkaas oo Sinner uu difaacay horyaalkiisii.
US Open waxay bilaabaneysaa Agoosto 30, difaaca Alcarazna waa mid shaki ah. Markii uu maqnaa, Sinner wuxuu difaacay Wimbledon wuxuuna tiradhisii Grand Slam-kiisa u dhigay shan.
Carlos Alcaraz has pulled out of the Cincinnati Open citing a persistent wrist injury, casting fresh doubt on his ability to defend his US Open title starting August 30.
Injury Keeps Alcaraz Off the Court
The seven-time Grand Slam champion has been sidelined since withdrawing from the Barcelona Open in the second round in April. The wrist problem prevented him from defending his French Open title and also denied him the chance to attempt to win Wimbledon for a third time.
Alcaraz remains at world No 2 despite not having played competitively since April, though he signalled he was close to a return after posting videos of training sessions in the last few weeks.
Cincinnati Was a Key Preparation Stop
The Cincinnati Open is an ATP Masters 1000 event scheduled for August 13-23, and Alcaraz was set to return at the tournament he won last year after world number one Jannik Sinner retired from the final.
Cincinnati tournament director Bob Moran said: 'We know Carlos is doing everything he can to get back to playing tournaments as soon as possible.'
US Open Title Defence Under Pressure
The withdrawal casts doubt over Alcaraz's fitness for his US Open title defence, which begins on August 30. The Winston-Salem Open, which begins on August 23, would be the last chance for Alcaraz to get some matches under his belt before the US Open.
Alcaraz has yet to signal whether he intends to participate in the Winston-Salem Open, leaving his preparation for Flushing Meadows uncertain.
