Alcaraz: “The season will be difficult because I am now the favorite”

Good news on the side of Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard suffered a torn oblique muscle during his quarter-final match at the Rolex Paris Masters and had to end his 2022 season prematurely, depriving him of a first appearance at the Masters and Davis Cup. The youngest world No. 1 in history is apparently on schedule for recovery. Indeed, announced absent for six weeks, Carlitos seems to be on the right track after now one month without tennis. As always very active on his networks, he published a reassuring message this Thursday.

“Last straight line for the recovery ! Today we are performing resonance and stress tests,” he wrote. In 2023, Alcaraz will be very expected and he knows it. “The season is going to be difficult because I am now the favorite and there will be a lot of pressure on me. I try to keep the good side and that all this does not go to my head. At the end of the day, beating your idols is an amazing event”
