The Murcian will depend on the result of Rafa Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the ATP Finals to maintain the number 1 at the end of the year
Sad end to the historic season of Carlos Alcaraz. The abdominal injury, which forced him to withdraw from the Paris-Bercy quarterfinals on Friday, will keep him off the tennis courts for six weeks. Therefore, the Murcian will not be able to appear in the ATP Finals, which begin on November 14, or in the final phase of the Davis Cup, which will be played at the end of the month in Malaga.
As Carlos Alcaraz himself announced this Saturday on his Twitter account, after being evaluated by his doctor, Juanjo López, and his physiotherapist, Juanjo Moreno, it was determined that he suffers from a “muscle tear in the internal oblique musculature of the left abdominal side wall ». “It is a hard and painful moment to miss these two events that are so important for me, but all that remains is to be positive and think about recovering well,” acknowledged the El Palmar tennis player, who thanked the support he has received since Friday.
Alcaraz, who still holds the number 1, will depend on the performance of Stefanos Tsitsipas, still alive in Paris-Bercy, and Rafa Nadal, to finish the year on top. For now, he has a 1,000-point advantage over the Balearic Islands, although the Greek can take the second step if he wins in the French capital.
