Carlos Alcaraz Forced to Make a Tough Call as Injury Woes Halt Madrid Open Campaign

Carlos Alcaraz left the court on Sunday at the Barcelona Open with some mixed emotions. Although the Spaniard was proud of himself for making it to two finals in two weeks, he was a bit disappointed after missing the chance of clinching back-to-back titles on the European clay. Amid all of these, seeing him taking an MTO after the opening three games of the second set against Holger Rune in the Barcelona Open final raised a few eyebrows among the fans. However, soon after the match, Alcaraz clarified, “I felt something in my right abductor or psoas muscle,” but he assured his fans, saying, “I’m confident it won’t hurt me for Madrid.” As per the latest updates, things are looking a bit gloomy for the two-time champion (2022,2023) at the moment. Why?

Recently, renowned tennis journalist Jose Moron (from Punto de Break) came up with an update which stated, “Carlos Alcaraz will not play in the Madrid Open as tests confirmed that the Murcia native has a small tear in the adductor area of ​​his right leg. With no specified time off, Rome remains up in the air, with the idea of ​​being 100% in Paris.”
