Top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz on Tuesday withdrew from Spain’s upcoming Davis Cup quarterfinal match against the Czech Republic due to a hamstring injury.
Alcaraz took to social media to deliver the news about the Thursday match.
“I am very sorry to announce that I will not be able to play with Spain in the Davis Cup in Bologna,” Alcaraz wrote in Spanish on X. “I have edema in my right hamstring and the medical recommendation is not to compete. I have always said that playing for Spain is the greatest thing there is and I was really looking forward to helping fight for the Salad Bowl.”
Alcaraz, 22, sustained the injury during the ATP Finals last week.
The winner of the Spain match against the Czech Republic match will advance to play either Argentina or Germany in the semifinals.
Jaume Munar and Pablo Carreno Busta will play in the singles matches for Spain, with Pedro Martinez and Marcel Granollers in the doubles competition.
