Will Alcaraz play in the Australian Open?
It is not clear when Carlos Alcaraz will be back to competition. The doctor told him that it would take 6 weeks to recover. That means the 19-year-old will be a bit late in preparing for the new season. Fortunately, Alcaraz has a lot of time on his hands; therefore, it is quite possible that he will compete in Melbourne’s first slam of the year, which will start on the 16 of January. Carlos is not in the lineup of the United Cup that will kick-start on the 29th of December.
