World No 3 Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the Madrid Open on Thursday with a thigh injury, in a blow for his French Open title defence preparations.
The Spaniard, a four-time Grand Slam winner, sustained the problem during his Barcelona Open final defeat last Sunday by Holger Rune.
“I did everything that was in my hands but it didn’t improve a lot over the (last few) days,” Alcaraz told a news conference.
“Things didn’t work out as I wanted to be able to play here, and we have decided not to take risks.”
