Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the 2026 Cincinnati Open as he continues to recover from the wrist injury that has kept him away from competition since April. Alcaraz had entered Cincinnati as part of a planned comeback ahead of the US Open. Cincinnati would have provided his only scheduled competitive preparation before the US Open men’s singles tournament begins August 30 in New York. Alcaraz has not announced that he will miss the US Open, but his Cincinnati withdrawal raises further questions about whether he will be ready for the final Grand Slam of the season. The Cincinnati Open has not yet announced how Alcaraz’s place in the field will be filled.
