Alcaraz is back on center court at Roland Garros: he has a schedule for Wednesday

Carlos Alcaraz, 21 years old and world No. 3, returns to action this Wednesday at Roland Garros. It seems like a century has passed since he beat the American JJ Lobo, 6-1, 6-2 and 6-1. In one of the matches scheduled for the opening day of the tournament, on Sunday.

The focus is on the fight between Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev, which the Murcian saw from the Philippe Chatrier center court stand. What he stepped on in the beginning, he repeated

After two days without playing, Alcaraz continued his fourth Roland Garros at Chatrier, with the advantage of having a covered roof. A related detail in an event that began under water, with meteorological instability that continued for several days.

The Murcian had to train indoors, sharing a place with the Russians Andrey Rublev and Karen Khachanov and the german Alexander Zverev. He changed to the exposed runway 29, where he had an appointment with the American Emiliano Navaon the other side of the house.

Alcaraz will visit Chatrier in a match that should serve to preserve the set-up. This was his first duel against the Dutchman Jesper de Jong, 23 years old and number 176, no relevant background. Only his second Grand Slam, he defeated the British in five sets Jack Draper at its premiere in Paris.

It was two o’clock in the afternoon, after the American skirmish Sofia Kenin and the french Caroline Garciawhich opens at 12 noon.

Alcaraz feels good about the forearm injury, which he ruled out, and he has a good chance to continue adjusting his game and sensation.

In the third he can raise the level if he meets again with the American Sebastian Korda, who has a previous appointment with the South Korean Soonwoo Kwon.
