Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws From The ATP Finals, Fritz Gets In

Carlos Alcaraz’s remarkable 2022 has come to a premature end due an abdominal tear he suffered in the Paris quarterfinals yesterday.

The Spaniard was set make his first ATP Finals appearance, but now his season is over.

“After my withdrawal yesterday and having been evaluated by my medical team, @drlopezmartinez
and @JuanjoMoreno_M, unfortunately this is the result of my injury: an internal oblique muscle tear in the left abdominal wall with an estimated recovery time of six weeks,” Alcaraz tweeted.

“Unfortunately I won’t make the ATP Finals or the Davis Cup Finals. It is tough and painful for me to miss these two events, which are so important to me, but all I can do is be positive and focus on my recovery. Thank you for the support! 😘”

With a six-week timeline, Alcaraz should be ok for a trip to Australia. The 19-year-old finished with 5 titles in seven finals, 57 match wins and has a strong chance to end 2022 as the world No. 1.

Both Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas have can overtake Alcaraz at the ATP Finals. Nadal must at least make the final and Tsitsipas must win the title undefeated.

Alcaraz’s withdrawals puts American Taylor Fritz into his first ATP Finals.
