 There's a big news coming out of Barcelona. Carlos Elcaraz, the two-time defending champion, has withdrawn from the event. Massive, massive deal here because, of course, he hasn't played yet on the clay in this European swing, he did play in February, but he put him on a Carlo. Let's go have a look at why he had to pull out of this event. Over at the Barcelona Open Twitter account, they've come out and said, We're gonna miss you, champion. Carlos Elcaraz would not be able to defend the crown. He has won in the last two seasons. We wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see you next year. Barcelona Open account goes on to say, Player from Mercia has suffered from the injury sustained in Monte Carlo and did not have a good feeling in training on Sunday, and despite having tried until the last moment, he would not be in the Barcelona Open. Carlos Elcaraz will go tomorrow to the Real Club, detentist Barcelona 1899, to personally announce his withdrawal from the tournament. So there you have it. Elcaraz pulling out of Barcelona, two-time defending champion, and he has yet to start his European clay court season, of course. Madrid coming up next week, he's the defending champion of that too. We've got Rome as well, then the French Open. And remember, it's an Olympic year, but not just any Olympic year. It's a clay court Olympic year, because of course we are playing in Paris, which has got the French Open and Roland Garros is the venues, especially with Wimbledon as well slammed in the middle, where he's going to defend that as well. Huge deal for Elcaraz and a big injury. So hopefully he can get over this one and get back next week, but let me know down in the comments below. When are we going to see Elcaraz again? Will he play Madrid with this ongoing arm issue? But call us Elcaraz pulling out of Barcelona next week as the two-time defending champion.
