MADRID (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz is being cautious with his expectations at the Madrid Open and would be happy to play “three or four matches” in his return from injury.
Alcaraz said Tuesday he has trained well in recent days but didn’t want to fully confirm his participation at the ATP 1000 tournament in the Spanish capital where he is a two-time defending champion.
The third-ranked Alcaraz is coming off a right arm injury that kept him from playing in Monte Carlo and Barcelona. The Spaniard will try to win his first French Open title next month.
“Today I trained with a little more intensity and things went quite well,” Alcaraz said. “I don’t want to say 100% that I’ll play. With the sensations that I have right now, I’d be happy to play three or four matches.”
It would be Alcaraz’s first European clay-court event of the season. The 20-year-old Spaniard has a first-round bye and is scheduled to play Friday against either Alexander Shevchenko or Arthur Rinderknech.
