Holger Rune advances to Paris Masters semi-final after Alcaraz retires due to injury
ATPFriday, 04 November 2022 at 17:53
Carlos Alcaraz abandoned the match in the second set tiebreak due to an injury that was causing him abdominal pain.
It was unclear what kind of injury Alcaraz sustained but the physio massaged the left abdominal side of Alcaraz in a medical timeout before the tiebreak. After only three points in the tiebreak, Alcaraz signalled that he would be unable to finish the match despite taking pain medication as well.
The match was a really good one and Alcaraz was playing pretty well at the time when he started to experience pain. Rune won the opening set playing far better tennis than Alcaraz but the Spaniard was slowly turning things around.
The problem for Alcaraz is that the ATP Finals are coming up shortly with abdominal injuries notoriously slow healing. Judging by how the match ended, it's not something minor that might endanger his participation in Turin.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period.
