at events, according to tennis commentator Prakash Amritraj.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard started the 2026 season with a title run at the Australian Open as he collected his seventh Grand Slam with victory over Novak Djokovic in the final, but he suffered a blow at the start of the clay-court season in April as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-injury-warning-tennis-chiefs-adriano-panatta\">he picked up a wrist injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He has been forced to miss several events, including his title defence at Roland Garros as well as Wimbledon, with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jannik-sinner-important-to-him-than-the-titles-he-has-won\"> Jannik Sinner

doubt that the Tour is lacking star power without Alcaraz.<\/p>\n<p>And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a> proved recently what a global sensation he is as he was part of the World Cup closing ceremony, as he was asked to bring in the trophy before the match between Spain and Argentina.<\/p>\n<h2>Carlos Alcaraz News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a

podcast<\/a>, former player and current Tennis Channel host Amritraj gave insight into the 23-year-old\u2019s allure in tennis with his participation in events affecting ticket sales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is one of those absolutely transcendent stars. I mean, look at the World Cup, let\u2019s put this into perspective here. This is as big a global, forget sporting, this is as big an event as it possibly gets,\u201d Amritraj stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were in Wimbledon, the whole city was frozen when the UK [teams] were playing, everywhere in the world it has been this way and Carlos is bringing out the trophy, that is absolutely nuts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have spoken to tournament directors where when Carlos is either hurt and pulls out of a tournament or whether he\u2019s in or whether he loses early or he\u2019s going to make the finals, it is such a needle mover for the actual ticket sales of the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean that\u2019s how big this guy is and look, it\u2019s also his lifestyle. When he won in Roland Garros last year, he\u2019s chilling, you know, partying and playing cards with OBJ (Odell Beckham Jr.) that evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, he\u2019s hanging with all these stars that adds to the allure of Carlos and then he just plays into it too, man. I mean, when he\u2019s on the court and he throws out that, you know, million-megawatt smile out there, the whole world goes crazy. It\u2019s nuts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alcaraz \u2018a needle mover for ticket sales\u2019, says tennis commentator Shahida Jacobs 27 Jul 2026 1:30 PM Carlos Alcaraz laughing Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s injury-enforced absence is having an impact on the sport not only on the court, but also in terms of ticket sales at events, according to tennis commentator Prakash Amritraj.
