Except for a major surprise, Carlos Alcaraz will be at the Mutua Madrid Open. The clay of the capital of Spain already awaits the Murcian, winner of the last two editions of the tournament, after a few weeks off the slopes due to an injury to his right forearm. While waiting for his confirmation, the one from El Palmar already knows his path in the Madrid Masters 1000, whose draw was drawn this Monday.
Juan Carlos Ferrero's pupil would debut on Friday or Saturday against the winner of the Shevchenko-Rinderknech duel. The Murcian's return to the slopes would have a path full of traps. In a hypothetical quarterfinal, Alcaraz could face Andrey Rublev or Rune. If he passes this phase, Zverev or Hurkacz could await him in the semifinals.
It would not be until the final when Carlitos would meet Rafa Nadal. A duel, between Manacor and El Palmar, that would be the final dreamed of by all tennis fans in the country. Djokovic, the world number one, will not be in Madrid for the second consecutive year.
After missing Monte Carlo and the Conde de Godó, everything seems to indicate that Alcaraz will return to the slopes in Madrid, a complicated but special place where he wants to defend his reign. Then will come Rome and Roland Garros, dates marked in red on the calendar of Carlitos and his team.
