Carlos Alcaraz Injury Update: Italian Open Appearance Still Uncertain as French Open Remains the Priority
Carlos Alcaraz’s team has delivered a positive update regarding the Spaniard’s injury status. As per the latest reports, Alcaraz has been medically cleared to return to on-court training. The four-time Grand Slam champion is likely to head to Rome for the upcoming clay-court competition.
Alcaraz surprised fans when he withdrew from the Madrid Masters 1000, following discomfort in his leg during the Barcelona Open final. Medical examinations later revealed a minor tear in his adductor muscle, prompting his official withdrawal on Thursday, April 24.
While the Madrid tournament is still underway, recent updates—according to Marca—suggest Alcaraz is preparing to resume training for Rome. Nonetheless, his participation in the Italian Open remains uncertain, with a final decision expected later this week.
The Spaniard is scheduled to undergo intense training sessions closely monitored by the medical staff. These sessions will be crucial in determining whether the four-time Grand Slam champion will travel on May 6. This year would mark Alcaraz’s comeback to the Italian Open, following his second-round loss to Fabian Marozsan in 2023.
Carlos Alcaraz recently shared a surprising insight into his mindset while addressing concerns about his current form. The Spaniard revealed that although he values progress in his career, his physical and mental well-being take precedence. He also admitted to having doubts about his confidence in becoming the top player on tour, emphasizing that personal happiness is more important to him than pressure or stress.
“Am I mentally prepared to give it my all, confront every challenge, and do whatever it takes? Right now, I’m not sure,” he said, according to WeLoveTennis. “I’m still young and have a long life ahead. But from what I’ve lived so far, I’ve realized I’d rather be happy than just successful—because true happiness is already a form of success, and it’s not easy to achieve.”
The statement sparked a wave of mixed reactions on social media after it went viral. While some fans showed support and empathy toward the young star, others criticized him for what they saw as a lack of self-belief. Adding to the challenge, his rival Jannik Sinner is also set to return to action following a three-month suspension, setting the stage for another high-stakes showdown at Roland Garros.
