Carlos Alcaraz will be one of the few Big names to make his debut on Sunday at Roland Garros. The very young Spaniard, already with 2 Slams under his belt, will present himself as one of the favorites to win the final of the Parisian tournament, truly full of unknowns in this 2024 edition due to the uncertain physical conditions of several top 10 players.
One of these is the native of Murcia, who is continuing to deal with forearm discomfort despite having also missed the Italian Internationals: “I feel better. The training is going quite well and without any discomfort, however I’m still a little scared.
It will take some time to make it disappear. I still wear the compression bandage, I’m training with that and I’ll play like that. It doesn’t mean my arm hurts or that I’m sick – I’m using it as a precaution and I know it helps.
My physiotherapist Juanjo Moreno tells me it has benefits. Whatever we can put or do on my forearm that helps me feel mentally relieved, I will do it” said the world number 3 in an interview with Marca.
The sensations of Alcaraz
Carlitos revealed how he feels much better than at the Mutua Madrid Open and spoke about his training methods in recent days: “I’m working hard, together with my team we followed the guidelines very well.
Last week I started hitting 80 straights in practice, the shots were weak. The day I hit 120 I hit with a little more intensity. We were cautious, no matter how good the feelings were. We preferred to go little by little and I think it was good for my forearm” she added.
