World No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz will have to wait another week to begin his 2024 clay-court campaign. The recent BNP Paribas Open champion reported on X today that his right arm is still not ready for competition.
I have been working in Monte Carlo and trying to recover until the last minute from an injured pronator teres in my right arm, but it was not possible and I cannot play! ? I was really looking forward to playing… See you next year! @ROLEXMCMASTERS @atptour pic.twitter.com/hQ8ANcAxPI
