The Spanish tennis player remains sidelined due to a right wrist injury that has kept him out of competition since April 14, 2026.

Ranking Dynamics
Alcaraz will drop 1,800 points over the coming weeks after withdrawing from the ATP 500 Queen's Club and Wimbledon, where he won and placed second respectively last year.
Zverev only defends 375 points next month after a first-round exit at Wimbledon last year, alongside a semifinal run in Halle and a runner-up finish in Stuttgart.
While Alcaraz holds a 2,655-point lead over Zverev, that margin narrows to 855 points once the mandatory point deductions for Alcaraz are calculated.
