Hello!
I just read that Carlos Alcaraz will miss Rome ATP1000
and Roland Garros due to on-going wrist injury. What
an opportunity for Jannik Sinner to win it all!
If Sinner wins in Rome ATP1000, he will join Djoker
as the only two men who have won all ATP1000 titles.
I actually have zero empathy for Alcaraz because it
is part of the full tennis package that your body
must stand the heat. Obviously Alcaraz's style of
play is placing too much stress at his wrist and his
body cannot take it. They predicted that Nadal's
style of play would cause him serious injuries, but
that did not happen - Nadal was mostly healthy during
the whole of his career.
This could be very serious indeed for Alcaraz.
Just remember how fantastic Dominic Thiem was before
and how terrible he became after his wrist injury.
Thiem never really recovered and he kept losing early
in the tournaments.
Time will tell what happens to Alcaraz. I do hope
that he will make a full recovery.
br,
KK
That would really suck.
