It's official: Carlos Alcaraz will not compete in the Masters 1000 in Montreal. The Spanish tennis player is not listed in the participants of the Canadian tournament, which is seen as a precautionary measure to avoid rushing stages and to return when fully recovered from his wrist injury.

Montreal is about to become the ATP's favorite playground 🎾

The official player list for the #NBO26 is here! 71 of the Top 72 players are headed to town from August 1 to 13 for two weeks of world-class tennis and can't-miss moments 🤩

The Spanish player has not competed since the Barcelona ATP 500 in April, where he had to withdraw due to discomfort during his match against Otto Virtanen. This caused Alcaraz to miss the Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros Masters 1000 on the clay court tour, as well as Wimbledon and the ATP Queen's. Although his recovery is progressing well and he is improving every week, they have decided to also skip this tournament, where the other main circuit players are present.

The Masters 1000 in Montreal will take place from August 1 to 13, in just 3 weeks, and players like Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, or Alexander Zverev are already signed up. Not seeing Alcaraz on this list has raised concerns, but everything indicates that it is simply part of the recovery process from such a delicate wrist injury, where rushing is not advised, and it's better to have patience to return when fully recovered at 100%.

The Cincinnati Masters 1000, an uncertainty for Alcaraz

The good news for Alcaraz is that in this tournament, he doesn't have points to defend from last year. After reaching the Wimbledon final, Carlos went straight to the Cincinnati Masters 1000, where he won the tournament. At the moment, his participation in Cincinnati is uncertain, and if he doesn't play there, he would lose 1000 points, impacting his secure hold on the world number 2 ranking.

Moreover, if Alexander Zverev defeats Arthur Fery this Friday and reaches the Wimbledon final, he would already lose that position. Even the German player could snatch the spot at the Montreal tournament itself, where he reached the semifinals last year. Nevertheless, at this moment, the priority is not the ranking, but to recover fully to return to competition pain-free and avoid falling back into one of the most delicate injuries a tennis player can experience.
