Alcaraz gives injury update ahead of Australian Open return: "I would say I will be ready and 100 per cent"

Carlos Alcaraz provided an injury update to ease fans after losing twice at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship.

The Spaniard finished his 2022 campaign at the Paris Masters retiring due to an abdominal injury. He's been out ever since then missing the ATP Finals as well as the Davis Cup Finals. His first action in the new year came in Abu Dhabi at the Mubadala tennis event and it was two heavy defeats to Rublev and Ruud.

Fans got worried that something was still wrong but the Spaniard assured everybody that he's feeling 100 % but needs practice time:

“I would say the key is to practise a lot, spend a lot of hours on court. With that, you’re going to reach your best level and be ready for the season. I have one month before the Australian Open, so I have time to keep training, trying to reach my level and I would say I will be ready and 100 per cent heading into Australia.”
