recovery is going well, and I feel much better, but unfortunately, I\u2019m still not ready to be able to play, and that\u2019s why I have to withdraw from the grass-court swing at Queen\u2019s

tournament.<\/p>\n<p>And it seems former world No 2 Corretja has not forgotten what the vitriol his naysayers spewed at the time.<\/p>\n<p>His first tweet on the Alcaraz news read, \u201cThe wait is getting long, heavy, and very sad. But the important thing is to recover well and come back when possible. CHEER UP, CARLITOS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a follow-up, the former French Open finalist made a sarcastic comment against Alcaraz\u2019s critics and called out their \u201cignorance\u201d and \u201cbad faith\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He tweeted: \u201c<span>Thank goodness Alcaraz pulled out of the God\u00f3 (Barcelona Open) because he didn\u2019t care about the tournament and wanted to save energy for the rest of the clay and grass tour! What a shame, so much ignorance, and worse, so much bad faith from a lot of people. #Ijusthadtosaythat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Following Alcaraz\u2019s news, thousands of well-wishers took to social media to send their regards.<\/p>\n<p>Former Miami Open winner Jakub Mensik commented on the two-time Wimbledon champion\u2019s Instagram post, \u201cCarlos! All the best! Be strong,\u201d while Madrid Open champion\u00a0Marta Kostyuk wished him a \u201cspeedy recovery\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen when Alcaraz will return to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\">ATP Tour<\/a>. The 2026 edition of the Canada Masters will take place in late July to early August but whether or not the Spaniard will be fit for that tournament remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>He will certainly need matches ahead of his US Open title defence, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT NEXT? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/mats-wilander-shares-the-only-thing-that-can-stop-jannik-sinner-from-winning-roland-garros\">\u2018The only thing\u2019 stopping Jannik Sinner from winning Roland Garros<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Corretja fed up of \u2018ignorance and bad faith\u2019 following Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s Wimbledon injury blow Tennis365 19 May 2026 7:00 PM Carlos Alcaraz looks on Alex Corretja has hit out at Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s detractors following the Spaniard\u2019s withdrawal from this year\u2019s Wimbledon.
