Withdrawal from Rome and Roland Garros will cost Carlos Alcaraz roughly 3,000 ATP points

Carlos Alcaraz said Friday he will miss both Rome and Roland-Garros after medical tests on his wrist ruled him out of the rest of clay season. (atptour.com) The ATP Tour said the 22-year-old Spaniard is defending 1,000 ranking points from his 2025 Rome title and 2,000 from his 2025 Roland-Garros title. (atptour.com) That means a 3,000-point loss when those results fall off his ranking total, taking him from 12,960 points to 9,960 by the end of the clay swing. (tennis.com) (atptour.com) Alcaraz announced the withdrawals after saying tests had been carried out on Friday, and the ATP quoted him saying, “We will come out of it stronger.” (atptour.com) Roland-Garros confirmed separately that the two-time defending champion had withdrawn because of a wrist injury, ending his bid for a third straight title in Paris. (rolandgarros.com) The rankings damage is large, but it does not automatically knock him out of No. 2. Tennis.com reported Alexander Zverev would still need a deep run in Paris to pass him. (tennis.com) Rome also loses its defending men’s champion. The tournament’s official entry-list announcement earlier this month had billed Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as the headline rivalry for the 2026 event. (internazionalibnlditalia.com) With Alcaraz out, both events open up on the men’s side, and Sinner arrives as the current world No. 1 in the ATP live rankings. (atptour.com) For Alcaraz, the immediate change is simple: no title defenses in Rome, no title defense in Paris, and a 3,000-point hole until he returns. (atptour.com)
