The game followed a familiar script.
Alcaraz, a dominant force in tennis, gets hurt and has to withdraw from a major tournament. It’s a blow to fans who were looking forward to seeing him compete.
He’s had a remarkable career, winning 26 titles and becoming the youngest man to win all four majors. But injuries have been a recurring theme.
