The tubular compression bandage on the right arm reminds us that Carlos Alcaraz He had a tough clay court tour. Lost in Monte Carlo and Godó, quarterfinalist in Madrid but at the cost of physical return and forced absence in Rome. Suddenly the racquet was out of touch for days before it was regained and the ball was hit harder as the days passed and Roland Garros approached.
He arrived in Paris. The main goal he set himself in his team when a muscular edema appeared in the right pronator teres from the tests carried out after his time at the Caja Mágica. The right arm complained again like last week.
This physical conflict represents a mystery that the Carlos Alcaraz You must reveal using your own sensations. He cautioned that he does not feel pain, but is still “a little scared” at the prospect of doing everything with his right. When I used it, weeks ago, it was when the discomfort appeared that it finally seemed to go away. It has been tested, and if it does not have an infinite set of resources, which includes a quick retreat.
As a personal encouragement and also a warning to Roland Garros rivals, Carlos Alcaraz He started his fourth participation in Paris with a bang. He showed for the umpteenth time his ability to activate at supersonic speed even after returning from injury, which was only his fourth match on European clay. “I didn’t need many matches to reach my best tennis,” he recalled.
roll 6-1, 6-2 and 6-1 in 1h.51′. The American rival also helped JJ Lobo25 years old and world no. Jesper de Jong (no. 176)who was Alcaraz’s next opponent after defeating the British Jack Draper by 7-5, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 3-6 and 6-3 in 4h.06′ of a match delayed by rain for an hour, in the fourth set.
Wolf and the clay is incompatible. Alcaraz took advantage, opening after losing his serve in the first game. He immediately went 8-0 to warn that, barring a physical accident, he would be in contention for a title that makes him especially happy. He was a quarterfinalist in 2022, a semifinalist in 2023. He’s getting closer.
At 21 years old, number 3, he does not enjoy filming in other editions, but he can get it over the days. And the picture seems to be enough to grow. Nothing is better than two proper opening rounds. It works in his favor that he has a lot of energy. He was really looking forward to it. Very little competition these months.
It was filled with air, under the sun and also when the rain forced to close the roof of the center court, the Philippe Chatrier, before facing the third round.
Too easy for everyone Alcaraz. No complaints, on the contrary. That’s what he’s looking for and it’s good to start a comeback. He has a lot of repertoire. He tried with his forehand, but without practice, he threw a lot and was good with his backhand. Everything in its place.
