Carlos Alcaraz announced that he has withdrawn from the Shanghai Masters draw, just hours after beating Taylor Fritz to claim the Japan Open title on his debut.
On Instagram, he wrote: “I’m very disappointed to announce that I won’t be able to play the Rolex Shanghai Masters this year.
“Unfortunately, I’ve been struggling with some physical issues and, after discussing with my team, we believe the best decision is to rest and recover. I was really looking forward to playing in front of the amazing fans in Shanghai again. I hope to be back soon and see my Chinese fans next year.”
