World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the ATP Finals yesterday due to an abdominal tear which has ruled him out for a few weeks. That means, his season ended at Bercy this week. Trailing 6-7,6-6 in the quarterfinal against Holger Rune, Alcaraz withdrew just moments before losing the match, citing that the pain was unbearable to continue.

After getting the scans done, an internal oblique muscle tear in the left abdominal wall was detected which will take around 6 weeks to recover. Alcaraz took to social media to share this news and expressed his sadness. He called off his season and said that he’ll miss the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup.

“After my withdrawal yesterday and having been evaluated by my medical team, @drlopezmartinez and @juanjo_moreno_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. 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!” Alcaraz wrote.
