Although Carlos Alcaraz is now battling with two different injuries, neither of them is significant, according to sports writer Gill Gross, therefore, he should be able to compete in Roland Garros. Carlos Alcaraz will be unable to compete in Monte-Carlo, but reporter Gross does not believe this will cause any complications. Although the Spaniard was previously seen training on a tennis court, the injury is likely not as serious as Gross claimed. Most likely, it’s to get some rest and get ready for Barcelona and Madrid.
“Most definitely, this, to me what he is dealing with right now, which is traumatic arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis in his left hand and muscular discomfort in the spine, to me, neither of those things are bad injuries. In fact, this reminds me a lot of Acapulco. Remember, Carlos Alcaraz pulled out of Acapulco. And there were question marks heading into Indian Wells,” said Gross.
