World number two Carlos Alcaraz ​has withdrawn from the ‌Barcelona Open after ​injuring his right ⁠wrist, tournament organisers said on Wednesday.

The Spaniard picked ‌up the injury during a 6-4 ‌6-2 first-round win ‌over ⁠Otto Virtanen but ⁠was able to complete the match despite discomfort.

A ​two-time champion ‌in Barcelona, Alcaraz had returned to competition just 48 hours after ‌losing the Monte-Carlo ​Masters final to rival Jannik Sinner.

Spanish ⁠media reported that Alcaraz skipped training on ‌Wednesday ahead of his scheduled second-round match against Czech Tomas Machac.

Alcaraz is expected to return to ‌action in Madrid and Rome ​as he builds towards the defence ⁠of his French Open ⁠title, which begins in Paris on ‌May 24.
