Injured Alcaraz waits on wrist tests as the French Open clock ticks
- Defending two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz has cast doubt on his participation at the French Open because of a right wrist injury, with medical tests in the next few days to determine his availability for the Grand Slam.

- The Italian Open is the next tournament after Madrid, an event Alcaraz won last year, though recovery from his wrist injury remains the immediate priority.
