Carlos Alcaraz’s adventure at the Rolex Paris Masters had not ended as he wanted. Opposed to Holger Rune in the quarters, Alcaraz withdrew when he was down 6-3 and 3-1 in the tie-break of the second set, only a few points from defeat. The verdict is as follows: an oblique muscle tear for the young Spaniard. The injury will keep him off the court for nearly six weeks, meaning the No. 1 player is out of the Masters and the Davis Cup. Returning home to recuperate, Alcaraz shared a video of his rehabilitation.
“After being evaluated by my medical team, unfortunately this is the result of my injury: tear of the internal oblique muscle of the abdomen with an estimated recovery time of six weeks. Unfortunately, I will not be able to play in the ATP Finals or the Davis Cup. It is hard and painful for me to miss these two events, which are so important to me, but all I can do is be positive and focus on my recovery. Thanks for the support!” he commented on his networks. His place as world number one is in danger.
