Carlos Alcaraz has turned his focus to the Italian Open, having been forced to miss the Madrid Open through injury.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alcaraz had both thighs strapped<\/a> on his return to training, which comes ahead of another ATP<\/a> Masters 1000 event.<\/p>\n

He withdrew from the ongoing tournament in Madrid with a leg injury, having just lost the Barcelona Open final to Holger Rune.<\/p>\n

Rafael Nadal thinks Alcaraz can achieve huge success<\/a> in his career, but only if he can manage to stay fit and healthy.<\/p>\n

That has not been the case for Alcaraz<\/a> in recent times, with his latest injury arriving shortly before the French Open.<\/p>\n

But according to Marca, the 21-year-old has received a positive update on his issue, with the website reporting: \u201cCarlos Alcaraz has received good news.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe medical tests he underwent on Monday in Murcia showed that the small tear in his adductor muscle, which prevented him from playing in the Mutua Madrid Open, is gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThus, Carlitos returned to training that same day with his sights set on Rome (May 7-18). According to MARCA, the decision on Alcaraz\u2019s participation on the Foro Italico courts will be made this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when the El Palmar native will practice for points, at the maximum intensity of a match. If he passes the test, Carlitos will depart for the Italian capital on Tuesday, May 6, and will make his debut this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe four-time Grand Slam champion\u2019s team isn\u2019t taking any risks with Roland Garros just around the corner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s record in 2025 ahead of potential Italian Open appearance<\/p>\n

But his health should be taking priority now, with the ATP schedule very busy and another Grand Slam rapidly approaching.<\/p>\n

The Italian Open is the perfect preparation for Roland Garros, but the youngster should not be forced into competing if he is not 100% fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlos Alcaraz has turned his focus to the Italian Open, having been forced to miss the Madrid Open…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65418,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[4294,6359,25564,79,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-65417","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-atp","9":"tag-carlos-alcaraz","10":"tag-italian-open","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114432097131278185","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
