Carlos Alcaraz is about to be back to competition in Buenos Aires this week after being sidelined by a string of injuries for more than three months. It was interesting to notice that the Spanish no.1 got a tattoo of the date of his US Open title on his elbow.
The 19-year-old fell to No. 2 after Novak Djokovic’s victory Down Under as a result of his inability to compete at the Australian Open, which cost him his World No. 1 ranking after 20 weeks.
On Twitter, the Argentina Open account shared some images of Alcaraz working diligently to prepare for the competition. The former world number one is seen paying close attention as he executes his backhand.
