Alcaraz, who recently lost his world number two ranking to Jannik Sinner, was set to face Felix Auger-Aliassime in the second round after getting a first-round bye. However, due to an arm injury, he had to withdraw from the tournament. In a message posted on social media, Alcaraz expressed his disappointment at not being able to compete and mentioned his eagerness to return next year. Despite winning a title at Indian Wells recently, he suffered a defeat in Miami and is now focused on defending his titles in Barcelona and Madrid. Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego has taken his spot in the Monte Carlo men’s singles draw.
