World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz has officially withdrawn from the 2026 ABN AMRO Open Rotterdam, the tournament confirmed on Monday.
The Spanish star has decided to skip the ATP 500 indoor hard-court event as part of his early-season scheduling following a demanding start to the year. No injury has been reported, with the decision understood to be precautionary.
Alcaraz’s withdrawal significantly alters the landscape of the Rotterdam draw, opening opportunities for other top contenders. Players such as Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev and Alex de Minaur are now expected to headline the tournament.
The ABN AMRO Open Rotterdam will take place from February 9–15, 2026, at the Rotterdam Ahoy Arena. Further updates to the entry list are expected in the coming weeks as the tournament approaches.
