US Open: Alcaraz Happy With Recovery After Injury Layoff, Says Return Has ‘surprised’ Him
Lexus ATP Head2Head: Carlos Alcaraz has been pleasantly surprised by how his body has responded to the demands of Grand Slam tennis after returning from a four-month injury layoff, with the Spaniard advancing to the US Open fourth round after dropping just one set in his opening three matches.
The 23-year-old, who missed competitive action because of a right wrist injury, admitted that he had some uncertainty about how he would cope physically upon returning to the Tour. Instead, Alcaraz has recovered well after each match and believes his condition has improved with every outing in New York.
“It didn’t happen to me. I am feeling better and better after every match. It feels like I have been competing the whole time. So it surprised me the way that I’m feeling and the way that I’m recovering after every match.
