Jannik Sinner reclaimed the world number one ranking this month after beating Alcaraz in the Monte Carlo final.<\/p>\n
Alcaraz, who won clay-court titles in Monte Carle, Rome and Roland Garros and reached the final in Barcelona last season, could lose significant ground to Sinner in the rankings because of the injury.<\/p>\n
“I’d rather come back a little later but in great shape than come back early, rushing around, and unwell,” Alcaraz said.<\/p>\n
“God willing, I have a very long career ahead of me – many years – and pushing myself too hard at this Roland Garros could seriously harm me in future tournaments.<\/p>\n
“Things happen in the professional world. You have to accept them.<\/p>\n
“I need to recover really well if I don’t want it to affect me later on.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
