Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic have announced their withdrawal from the upcoming Madrid Open, sparking concerns about the competition's star power.
Alcaraz, currently ranked No. 2, has been sidelined due to a right wrist injury, which also forced him out of the Barcelona Open earlier in the week.
Meanwhile, Djokovic, healing from a shoulder injury, has not competed since the BNP Paribas Open. Both players aim to be fit for future tournaments, including the Italian and French Opens.
