World N° 1 Carlos Alcaraz has been ruled out of the Australian Open with a leg injury. The Spanish teenage sensation has revealed that he has sustained an injury to the "semimembranosus muscle in my right leg" while training. Alcaraz had been due to play in next week’s Kooyong Classic in Melbourne before the Australian Open, scheduled to start in nine days' time. However, Alcaraz has now confirmed that he will be unable to compete in either tournaments following the injury setback. "When I was at my best in preseason, I picked up an injury through a chance, unnatural movement in training," Alcaraz wrote on Twitter. "This time it’s the semimembranosus muscle in my right leg. "I’d worked so hard to get to my best level for Australia but unfortunately I won’t be able to play the Care A2+ Kooyong or the Australian Open. "It’s tough, but I have to be optimistic, recover and look forward. "See you in 2024 @australianopen." Alcaraz became the youngest men’s singles world number one after winning the US Open in September at the age of 19. An abdominal muscle tear sustained in early November forced Alcaraz to miss the ATP Finals as his 2022 came to an end.
