The abandonment of Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals of the Masters 1,000 in Paris Bercy was the second in the successful but short career of the young tennis player from Murcia, 19 years old and number 1 in the world, and the withdrawal against the Danish Holger Rune is added to that of 2021 US Openthen with the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime as a rival.
Alcaraz, who ended his participation in Accor-Arena from the French capital suffering from some stomach discomfort for which he is being treated by the ATP physiotherapist, he is in a position to make a comeback against Rune, six days older than him and ranked 18th in world ranking.
The Murcian lost the first set 3-6 and in the second he won 6-5 when he felt a pinch on his left side. In that trouble, his opponent forced sudden death and in it Alcaraz couldn’t handle the pain anymore and opted to retire after spending 1 hour and 39 minutes on the track.
This problem, the extent of which remains to be determined, can remove the ward of John Charles Ferrero to dispute the Masters Cup, where he has been classified for almost two months and where he will appear as number 1 in the world, but his presence in Turin from the 13th to the 20th of this month of November is in the air and the one from El Palmar hopes to attend and thus defend his privileged position, since one of his great goals is to close the year at the top of world tennis, something that is not yet insured.
This Friday in Paris is the second time that the player from Palma has left a track since he became a professional.
The first occurred in the other quarterfinals, then at the 2021 United States Open when he did not finish his match against Auger Aliassime when he lost the first set 3–6 and when he lost the second 1–3 he retired due to lack of in relief in the adductor of the right leg, in the left thigh and also in the abdomen.
So many setbacks led him to retire from the racket after 1 hour and 8 minutes of that match played at Flushing Meadows on September 8 last year.
