Rafael Nadal<\/a> has given support to Carlos Alcaraz<\/a>, who withdrew from Roland Garros<\/a> and Rome on Friday due to a wrist injury.<\/p>\n

The 22-major champion Nadal wrote on social media<\/a> Friday: “Hang in there, Carlos! I hope you have the speediest recovery possible. These difficult moments truly highlight the value of everything you are doing. Stay strong\u2014sending you a big hug! \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffc”<\/p>\n

Alcaraz, who is a two-time defending champion at Roland Garros<\/a>, suffered his wrist injury during his first-round match at the ATP 500 event in Barcelona. Earlier this year, Alcaraz completed the Career Grand Slam<\/a> at the Australian Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nadal triumphed in Paris a record 14 times. The 39-year-old ATP No. 1 Club member made his final appearance at the clay-court major in 2024.<\/p>\n

The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings Jannik Sinner<\/a> also shared his thoughts on the situation following his opening win in Madrid.<\/p>\n

“I think what’s most important is to say that tennis needs Carlos,” Sinner said after hearing the news. “Tennis is a much better sport when he’s around.”<\/p>\n
