# Tennis: Italian Jannik Sinner will hold on to the men’s number one world ranking after his great adversary, Carlos Alcaraz, had to withdraw from the Barcelona Open in his native Spain. The two-time champion suffered a wrist injury, which raised fears for his participation in next month’s claycourt Grand Slam tournament, the French Open. A title victory in Barcelona would have seen Alcaraz reclaim the top position, which Sinner snatched from him by winning the Monte Carlo Masters last weekend.
