“I can't say I'm going to play my 100%”: Carlos Alcaraz provides fitness update ahead of Madrid Open
ATPWednesday, 24 April 2024 at 12:06
Spain’s young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has revealed he is
not sure about playing in the upcoming Madrid Open. The 20-year-old is often
regarded as one of the most highly-rated players currently playing in the men’s
singles category alongside Italy’s Jannik Sinner.
Alcaraz has been struggling with a forearm injury in the
recent past which is why he ended up missing the Monte-Carlo Masters and the
Barcelona Open. The reigning world number three, who is also the defending
champion at the Madrid Open, was recently quoted in a report where he stated
that he is not 100 per cent sure of playing in the upcoming mega-event but that things
are going well and he is trying to avoid getting into trouble by rushing ahead
of a busy season where two Grand Slams are to be played in the space of two
months.
"There are still days until my first match,” said Alcaraz.
“Today I trained more intensely, things are going well, I have good feelings. I
don't want to rush, I don't want to get into trouble with myself. I can't say
I'm going to play my 100% because I don't know, I don't take anything for
granted. Right now, with the feelings this morning and the mentality I have, I
would be happy with playing 3-4 games.”

- A lot of top players with injuries now. Could be a coincidence. Still we have a lot of big tournaments in 4/5 months.
AceOfBase06-05-2024 - Iga never gets an easy draw in any tournament she plays. So that statement is far from the truth. Sabalenka has difficulty because all she wants to do is stand up and serve. She is not a tennis player. If she gets the opponents Iga have, she would be ousted earlier.crissy06-05-2024
- Trickery. Playing the system seems to be a way of life in general these days.
mandoist05-05-2024 - Just be honest... This era of pro sports "couples" are merely easy hookups for sex while on the Tour. Like Hollywood and music biz (except they call it "dating")mandoist05-05-2024
