Rafael Jódar continues to climb positions in the ATP ranking and dreaming of the possibility of being a seed at Roland Garros 2026. With the victory at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026 over De Miñaur, the Spaniard is now 36th in the live ranking. It is important to consider that Alcaraz's confirmed withdrawal guarantees the 33rd player in the world a seed at the Parisian Grand Slam, so Rafa is already close to those privileged positions. Advancing in Madrid would be crucial, but it is also necessary to consider that what happens in Rome could be decisive in this objective.

The surprise and consternation on the Italian's face say it all, as he didn't hesitate to describe the news as "very tough and sad for tennis." "In these types of injuries, you have to take it slow.

Jannik Sinner remains alone in the battle for the ATP ranking number 1. The Italian tennis player already knows he will stay at the top of the rankings for many weeks. Alcaraz will lose a staggering 3,000 points while the Italian could only see a maximum of 1,950 points vanish from his score, corresponding to his finishes in Rome and Paris. It is expected that he not only defends those points but could even add more with a title, widening the gap significantly. The Italian would secure the number 1 spot until after Wimbledon if he arrives with an advantage of over 2,700 points above Alcaraz.

The worst part of tennis are the injuries and Carlos Alcaraz will have to deal with the bitter feeling of watching on television a tournament that he won last year. This has only happened five times throughout the history of Roland Garros, with the most recent being in 2023 when Rafael Nadal couldn't compete. Before that, Rod Laver (1970), Björn Borg (1982), and Andrés Gómez (1982) also fell victim to untimely injuries that prevented them from defending their titles in Paris.
📊 For the 5th time since the beginning of the Open era, the defending champion will not defend their title at Roland-Garros:
