Carlos Alcaraz cruelly said goodbye to the Masters 1000 of Paris-Bercy, was forced to retire in the tie-break of the second set due to abdominal discomfort. After the game, the Murcian tennis player spoke about that incident: “I don’t know if I will make it to the Masters Cup. I have to go home, take a test and see the magnitude of the problem”, he commented, knowing that there are only nine days left for the ATP Finals to be held in Turin from November 13 to 20.
Faced with the impending appointment, and considering that the fight against Rune was uphill for him, Alcaraz chose not to push himself more than necessary: ”I prefer to retire and take care of myself. I’m not able to serve well and when I turned my body I was disturbed in the stomach area when I made some movements. To play this way, it is better to leave it. This is the second time I withdraw and I always try to avoid, but I don’t want it to get worse,” he stressed.
Cautious, Alcaraz stressed: “I played a lot. If I continued, I would have to stop for something more serious, and health would come first. The world number one has lost against all the peers of his generation, although his resume is better than all of them: “We know each other, we have played together since we were little. Rune, Musetti, Sinner… he can lose against anyone, although I hope it doesn’t happen too many times”, he concluded, with a smile.
