Feeling good in return from injury, Carlos Alcaraz plans to take more long breaks from tennis

Carlos Alcaraz, the defending U.S. Open champion, is considering taking more breaks throughout the tennis season after returning from a four-month injury. The 23-year-old expressed that his body feels great and has not experienced any setbacks since his return at the U.S. Open.

Alcaraz explained that his injury was not due to overuse, but rather he prefers to be mentally healthy. He believes that taking breaks would give him a mental advantage and prepare him better for tournaments. The player has expressed his desire to step on the court with joy and fun, and he acknowledged that playing an excessive number of tournaments can impact his enjoyment of the game.

In a recent press conference, Alcaraz also shared his wardrobe change, stating that he chose a new look due to a shirt moving excessively during a previous match. He has adopted a new celebration, mimicking shooting an arrow, which was suggested by his brothers. The athlete's goal is to maintain his mental and physical well-being while continuing to compete at a high level in tennis.
