Carlos Alcaraz has started his preparation for the American swing. The Spanish sensation will kick off his campaign at the ATP 1000 tournament that will be staged next week in Toronto. Carlitos will be the hot favorite to win that event also because Novak Djokovic decided to take a little break and be back to competitions only on the occasion of the ATP 1000 in Cincinnati.
The world number one published a nice picture showing his willingness to compete again. However, it did not go unnoticed that Carlos had his left wrist taped. Of course, it will be interesting to understand if the little bandage was only a precaution or if Alcaraz is having issues with his left arm. Given his muscular tennis, it is well known that the Spaniard is a little bit prone to injuries.
