MURCIA, SPAIN—Sending shock waves through the tennis world, world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz officially withdrew from the French Open on Monday over a career-threatening haircut. “After careful consideration, we have decided that the most prudent decision is not to participate in Rome or Roland-Garros while we wait to assess the severity of this tragic styling choice,” said a representative for the two-time defending champion, who was also forced to miss a portion of last year’s clay season due to an uneven fade on the right side of his head. “At this point, there are concerns that pushing himself to play in the tournament with this baffling look would only do further damage to the follicles and potentially even leave his hairline permanently mangled. The best move is to take some time off to see how this cut grows out as experts determine what, if anything, can be done to find a shape better suited for his face by the start of grass season.” When reached for comment, rival Jannik Sinner publicly wished Alcaraz a speedy lengthening process.
