We haven't seen much of Carlos Alcaraz since his disappointing exit from the French Open where cramps completely overwhelmed him leaving him unable to take on Djokovic.
It was a disappointing ending for the Spaniard who was favoured to possibly win the event. The match against Djokovic for many was the one that would have determined who would win the event and it ended up that way. The match itself was really good, Alcaraz just made it 1-1 after a brutal set but the consequence of that was heavy cramps that didn't stop making it impossible for Alcaraz to play the way he wanted to play.
Djokovic cruised to a comfortable finish ending up as the Roland Garros champion. Speaking after the match, Alcaraz confirmed that there was a combination of nerves and pressure that got to him in the end but that's a great learning experience. Now it's time to turn his attention to the grass season, a surface which many consider his weakest by far.

The Spaniard can play well on it bet he needs a bit more matches on it and experience. He will get that at the Cinch Championships at the famous Queen's Club tennis club next week. He was supposed to play there last year but was prevented due to an injury but he'll be there this time around.
Posting a mini-update on social media, Alcaraz tagged the event's Twitter page adding a soon emoji next to it. It's good news for fans and it's very good for him to get some matches ahead of Wimbledon. Grass tennis is fairly straight forward but you need matches to get used to the timing and everything else. He showed some promise last year but didn't play well enough to seriously challenge for the trophy.
Maybe this year.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026
- Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
