so far, adding five more titles to his name, including a second Roland Garros crown. <\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard emerged victorious in Rotterdam, Monte-Carlo, and Rome before going back-to-back at the French Open in June. <\/p>\n<p>Following another triumph at Queen\u2019s, he was bidding to become the fifth man in the Open Era to three-peat at <a

quickly followed the championships in the form of the Washington Open and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/Canadian-Open\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian Open<\/a>, a Masters 1000 event. <\/p>\n<p>Both, however, saw multiple withdrawals, due to players taking time to recover from the busy grass-court season. <\/p>\n<p>The tight schedule on tour has been an ongoing issue for many players over the years, and now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alcaraz<\/a> has decided to make his voice heard on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c904a7d4-272e-4b06-a03d-62c8ac644663\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener

Open, which was a big blow for the event. <\/p>\n<p>Djokovic had sustained a groin injury at Wimbledon in his quarterfinal match with Flavio Cobolli, while the Italian had also been struggling with pain in his elbow en route to the title. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/jack-draper\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jack Draper<\/a> also pulled out, citing an arm injury he was dealing with in SW19, before the likes of Tommy Paul, Grigor Dimitrov, and Matteo Berrettini followed suit. <\/p>\n<p>With less than a month to go until the US Open, the Cincinnati Open, which has already seen a number of withdrawals, is likely to see more in the near future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlos Alcaraz has enjoyed yet another
