Carlos Alcaraz: World number one pulls out of ATP Finals & Davis Cup finals with injury

Spain's world number one Carlos Alcaraz has been forced to pull out of the upcoming ATP Finals and Davis Cup Finals due to injury.

A scan revealed an abdominal muscle tear, which he confirmed on Twitter would keep him out for up to six weeks.

"It is tough and painful for me to miss these two events," wrote Alcaraz.

"All I can do is be positive and focus on my recovery."

Alcaraz, who has shot up the rankings this season after winning five titles on the ATP Tour, including the US Open, was due to be number one seed on his debut at the season-ending event in Turin next week.
