href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/serena-williams\">Serena Williams<\/a> has expressed his confidence that \u201ceverything is fine\u201d with Carlos Alcaraz amid the Spaniard\u2019s absence from the tour.<\/p>\n<p>Many fans had hoped that Alcaraz would make his long-awaited comeback from injury at the Cincinnati Open \u2014 which begins on 13 August \u2014 but his withdrawal from the Masters 1000 event was confirmed earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old has not played since he suffered a right wrist injury at the Barcelona Open almost four months ago.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear whether Alcaraz will defend his title at the 2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/us-open\">US Open<\/a> given the challenges of returning from a long-term injury at a Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p>Rick Macci, who has coached five players who went on to become world No 1, explained why he is not worried by Alcaraz\u2019s latest withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything with the Spanish Magician will be fine and is fine,\u201d Macci wrote on his X\/Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis team knows best and that is more practice, recovery and rest. He will 100% know when he feels ready for pure combat and get knocked down and get off the mat.<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Tour News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/us-open\/carlos-alcaraz-alternative-plan-b-emerges-us-open-cincinnati-setback\"><strong>Carlos Alcaraz plan B emerges ahead of US Open \u2013 \u2018That option is still on the table\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/richard-krajicek-exclusive-interview-rafael-jodar-carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner\"><strong>Exlcusive: Richard Krajicek names rising ATP star who could challenge Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

This is no red flag from the doctors bag.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing patient smart and wise is how gets back on track to win the prize.

He\u2019s an artist, he\u2019s a virtuoso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is how he plays \u2014 from the heart and from the soul.
