Spain’s Davis Cup captain lifts the lid on Carlos Alcaraz’s injury and you won’t believe this

Carlos Alcaraz’s absence isn’t just being felt by fans – it’s having an impact across the sport, from tournaments to fellow players.

Despite some draws looking a bit less daunting without him, even top names like Jannik Sinner have said they miss seeing him around on tour.

The wrist injury he picked up in Barcelona back in early April has kept him out ever since. It’s been nearly two months now, and there’s still no clear sign of when he might return.

With the severity of the injury, he pulled out of Roland Garros early and later made the same call for Wimbledon.

As Alcaraz works through his rehab away from the spotlight, David Ferrer has offered a brief update on how things are progressing.

Ferrer spoke to AS about how the 23-year-old is doing and shared his thoughts.

“Well, calm. Reassurance that everything is going well,” Ferrer said.

“The important thing is that Carlos recovers one hundred per cent day by day. You don’t have to think much more. It is an injury that must be taken care of, and the good thing is that Carlos is mentally very good and is in good hands.”
