"His Netflix series is gonna be 90% in hospital": Tennis fans quip as Carlos Alcaraz continues injury woes with Rome Open withdrawal
ATPSaturday, 04 May 2024 at 20:00
The fans reacted to Carlos Alcaraz's withdrawal from the
Rome Open and compared it to Rafael Nadal. The young Spanish player suffered a
new injury, this time in his right forearm, and will miss a tournament for the
third time in the clay swing, after being absent in the Monte-Carlo Masters and
Barcelona Open.
The world No. 3 was this week at the Madrid Open, where he
was the defending champion for two consecutive years, but failed to defend the
title after falling in the quarterfinals against world No. 8 Andrey Rublev, who
will play the final of the tournament on Sunday against Felix Auger-Aliassime.
"Unfortunately I will not be able to play in Rome. I
need to rest so I can recover and play 100% pain free. I am very sorry, I will
see you next year," Alcaraz wrote on his social media."
Fans reacted to yet another injury for Alcaraz. This same
week in Madrid, Jannik Sinner withdrew before taking to the court for the
quarterfinals, and Daniil Medvedev retired in the middle of the quarterfinals
against Jiri Lehecka
“ATP needs to do something IMMEDIATELY with the quality of
its tennis balls. So much inconsistency that is hurting the players…hurting
their availability and longevity…therefore hurting the game of tennis.”
“Rafa part 2 incoming”
“So his netflix serie is gonna be 90% of the time in the
hospital????? Lets just hope Netflix is cooking smtg for us”
"He has to rest his arm. I know he wants to play but he's young still. Plenty of play time AFTER he gives his muscle plenty of time to heal."
