Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the upcoming Davis Cup Final 8 quarter-final against the Czech Republic, which will take place in Bologna on Thursday, November 20, due to a right hamstring injury.
The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, who fell to Jannik Sinner in Sunday’s Nitto ATP Finals title match, needed a medical timeout during the final to have his leg strapped. Alcaraz arrived in Italy on Monday but decided to withdraw and return home after undergoing tests.
“I am very sorry to announce that I will not be able to play with Spain in the Davis Cup in Bologna,” Alcaraz wrote Tuesday morning on [trophy]. I’m going home injured…’
I am very sorry to announce that I will not be able to play with Spain in the Davis Cup in Bologna…? I have edema in the hamstrings of my right leg and the medical advice is not to participate in competitions. I’ve always said that playing for Spain is the best thing there is and I was very excited… pic.twitter.com/ftWvwGUYcu

The Spanish team, captained by David Ferrer, consists of Jaume Munar, Pedro Martinez and Pablo Carreno Busta. They will face the Czech Republic – led by Jiri Lehecka and Jakub Mensik – on Thursday at 10am, with the winner advancing to face Argentina or Germany in the semi-finals.
Alcaraz ends his 2025 season with 71 wins and eight titles on Tour, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. He shared the four majors with Sinner and leads the Italian 10-6 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series, having won four of their last six clashes this year.
