Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam. The tournament announced the news on social media on Monday.

The Spaniard lifted the trophy at the ATP 500 event last season but will not return to defend his crown at the indoor hard-court event, which will be held from February 9 to 16. Top 10 stars Alexander Zverev, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alex de Minaur are in action in Rotterdam.

Carlos Alcaraz will not defend his title in Rotterdam. The Australian Open champion concluded that he needs more time to return to action after his efforts over the past two weeks.

We wish Carlos a speedy recovery. 💚#ABNAMROOpen #RotterdamAhoy pic.twitter.com/hHQe6Pyxcm

The 22-year-old Alcaraz on Sunday became the youngest player to complete the Career Grand Slam at the Australian Open, where he defeated Novak Djokovic in four sets. The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, a seven-time major champion, took part in a photo shoot at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne on Monday to celebrate.

Alcaraz has now won fifteen major titles – a combination of Grand Slam championships, trophies at the Nitto ATP Finals and ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, and Olympic gold medals in singles.
