Announcement of Carlos Alcaraz after the injury

On January 6, Carlos Alcaraz announced his withdrawal from the 2024 Australian Open. “When I was in the best moment of the preseason, I injured myself with a sudden and forced movement during training, this time in the semimembranosus muscle of the right leg. I worked hard to reach my best level in Australia…” , complained the Murcian, the youngest number one in history at the age of 19.

The US Open champion has already missed the ATP and Davis Cup Finals, then due to a stomach injury. He returned to the Abu Dhabi exhibition in December, but officially did not compete because he had to retire against the Dane Holger Rune, on November 4 in Paris-Bercy.

To make up for the lack of competition, the loss of the Australian tour, the student of Juan Carlos Ferrero added a new tournament to the scheduled calendar, the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires, from February 13 to 19.

“Back to the track and back to earth!” Carlos Alcaraz announced this Friday, announcing his return to track training, on clay because he will play on this surface in Argentina, as well as in Rio de Janeiro later, where he will defend the title from February 20 to 26. Then he will move this on the hard court, during its first stop in Acapulco from February 27 to March 4. Three consecutive commitments.

Carlos Alcaraz started the set-up as Australia looked to go after the Grand Slam. He will be left without the world number one if the champion is Novak Djokovic or Stefanos Tsitsipas.
