In 2022, Carlos Alcaraz made great progress. 19 -year -old player beat both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in Madrid Open to win the championship. He is also expected to soon squeeze the top of the world's top players.
At the recent Roland Garros, Alcaraz stopped in the quarterfinals after losing to Alexander Zverev. After the tournament, due to the elbow injury, the Spanish star has not attended any tournament at ATP Tour. To run the momentum for Wimbledon, he only participated in the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic Exhibition event at Hurlingham.
Last night 23/6, Alcaraz had his first match on the pitch in the 2022 season. Here, he had the encounter of Frances Tiafoe – the French tennis player ranked 28th in the world. In the end, Alcaraz lost quickly after 2 sets of matches with 4-6 and 2-6.
In fact, the pitch is not Alcaraz's forte. Last season, 19-year-old player lost 0-3 to Daniil Medvedev in the opening match of Wimbledon. Therefore, he was not overestimated in Wimbledon this year.
After the match against Tiafoe, some fans were worried about Alcaraz's injury when he had to wear tape on his elbow. However, in an interview after the match, the Madrid Open champion confirmed that there was no serious problem.
“I wearing tape in my hand is just a wary. A few weeks ago, I had a little problem and could not practice well. However, when practicing in Wimbledon, I did not feel pain anymore.
Currently, the situation is much better. Before playing in Wimbledon, I will play another match on Saturday, ”Alcaraz said.
After Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic, Alcaraz will enter the competition at Wimbledon 2022. Here, the Spanish player will be ranked No. 5.
