Carlos Alcaraz is the hot favorite to win the Wimbledon title after Novak Djokovic. However, in order to have a deep run at SW19 and plausibly face Djokovic in the final, Carlos needs to be in top form. Unfortunately, the Spanish sensation had some issues with his right thigh that made him skip some training sessions before Wimbledon.

According to reports, there are no major problems for Carlos, but that needs to be confirmed.
