Alcaraz Details Emotional Response to Injury in Monte Carlo


Carlos Alcaraz first experienced arm issues before the 2024 Monte-Carlo Masters, causing frustration as he desired to compete.

Alcaraz has struggled in Monaco, having played only once. Despite being a top clay tournament, its calendar position often leads to player absences.

Alcaraz missed the ATP Masters 1000 clay-court events in the past two years due to injuries, including his recent issue before the Madrid Open.

Feeling frustrated, Alcaraz had to abandon his Monaco plans and return home to Murcia, expressing his disappointment at missing out on playing at the event.

“Frustration, frustration, because it was a tournament that we decided to go and play, a very nice tournament that I had only played once and I was excited to compete.”

“When you get injured, positive thoughts never come. It was a frustrating and angry moment because it came suddenly and I couldn’t go out and compete.”

Alcaraz faced further setbacks with a withdrawal from the Barcelona Open, leading to emotional distress as he revealed his struggles.

Despite uncertainties, Alcaraz is currently in Madrid with hopes of participating, although caution suggests a potential worsening condition.

His focus is now on being fit for the French Open, prioritizing his readiness for the event to avoid missing out on competing.
