‘Going smooth’ – Tennis fans speculate about Carlos Alcaraz injury after latest training video

A viral video of Carlos Alcaraz practicing after his withdrawal from the Cincinnati Open has fans divided on his injury status ahead of the US Open. The year has been challenging for Alcaraz and his supporters following his Australian Open win earlier in the season. A wrist injury forced him to miss several tournaments, including Wimbledon.

There were hopes for a return at the US Open, but his recent withdrawal from Cincinnati raised concerns. It remains to be seen if he will be able to compete again. Alcaraz is currently training in Murcia, Spain. A clip of him practicing emerged, prompting social media users to speculate about his condition. Some fans believe he is on track for recovery while others argue that his performance in the training video raises doubts about his readiness for the US Open.

The video shows Alcaraz wearing a compression sleeve on his wrist, which has fueled speculation about his injury. One fan commented, "Going smooth on that recovery. Favourite hairstyle so far too, Carlos." Another suggested, "He’s got that wrist taped up, but he looks ready for the US Open to me." However, others are more skeptical, saying, "Look at that wrapping on the arm and wrist.

Look at the tentative third forehand swing, not to mention the clunky backhand. I don’t see how he plays the US Open." Ultimately, only Alcaraz and his team know if he will be able to participate in the US Open. Tennis fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting his return to the court.
