Carlos Alcaraz in action at Wimbledon.

11 Players Withdraw From Wimbledon 2026

Jan Choinski was given an opportunity due to Alcaraz’s decision to withdraw. Matteo Berrettini, who was ranked outside the Top 100 when Wimbledon’s initial entry list was locked in, gained direct entry into the main draw following a quarterfinal run at the French Open, benefiting directly from Musetti’s absence.

Alexander Muller replaced Korda, while Jesper de Jong–who reached the fourth round at the French Open as a lucky loser–steps in for Machac. Sho Shimabukuro takes Cazaux’s spot and Alex Molcan replaces Vacherot.

In the women’s draw, Darja Vidmanova replaced Mboko, Hanne Vandewinkel steps in for Baptiste, and Sinja Kraus replaces Gracheva.

The former World No.2, Paula Badosa, will take Kartal’s place. The Spaniard recently retired before her qualifying match Bad Homburg and is now looking forward to Wimbledon. Lastly, Francesca Jones replaced Kudermetova.

The 139th edition of the Championship gets underway on June 29th, though the draw has already been significantly reshaped.
