Carlos Alcaraz, the first seed and top figure of the Mexican Open, has been forced to withdraw from the 30th anniversary of the tournament due to an injury in his right leg. The 19-year-old Spanish player confirmed his absence on his Twitter account, citing a grade 1 strain on the hamstring of his right leg. British Cameron Norrie, the fifth seed, has also withdrawn due to fatigue.
Alcaraz and Norrie were the main protagonists of the Latin American tour of slow courts. The Spanish was crowned in the final of the Buenos Aires tournament and the British in the final of the Rio de Janeiro tournament. The loss of Alcaraz and Norrie is a big blow for the Mexican Open.
