Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz said on Thursday he will skip next week’s ATP event in Basle after picking up back and foot injuries.

“Unfortunately I will not be able to play in Basle this year,” the 20-year-old wrote on Instagram adding he still hopes to complete his season.

“I have a problem with the plantar fascia in my left foot and muscle fatigue in my lower back which need treatment so I can play the rest of the season.

“I hope to see you all soon.”

World No 2 Alcaraz has played 72 matches on the ATP Tour this year, winning six titles, the most recent of which came at Wimbledon in July where he defeated Novak Djokovic in a five-set final.
