Jannik Sinner said Carlos Alcaraz’s withdrawal from the Madrid Open is tough for the tournament. Alcaraz is out with injury, and Sinner said it is different when Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are not in the draw. The absence matters for Sinner as he chases a fifth straight Masters 1000 title and his first Madrid trophy. Sinner is the world No. 1 and is set to begin his campaign in Madrid against a qualifier after a first-round bye.
