Carlos Alcaraz has assured fans that he is in excellent health despite his recent loss in the Beijing semifinals. The top-seeded player faced a surprising defeat at the hands of Jannik Sinner, but he is gearing up for his debut appearance at the Shanghai Masters.
Addressing rumors of a potential injury, Alcaraz stated, “I feel really, really well in this tournament. Just taking care of my body with my team. Obviously, there’s some problems, but it is normal. It’s nothing serious. I played at my 100% physically. In Shanghai, it’s going to be the same: 100% health.”
The 20-year-old rising star emphasized the importance of maintaining his physical well-being throughout the Shanghai Masters, which he described as a week and a half of challenging matches. Alcaraz aims to prepare with his team to ensure he remains healthy and ready to compete.
Alcaraz’s debut in Shanghai comes as Novak Djokovic is absent from the tournament, leading to Alcaraz’s top seeding. With his recent experiences and a focus on self-improvement, he approaches Shanghai with confidence and a determination to perform at his best.
After receiving a first-round bye, Alcaraz is set to face either Gregoire Barrere or Nuno Borges in his Shanghai opener. He remains optimistic and determined, stating, “I’m coming to Shanghai with a lot of confidence, even if I lost today. But it doesn’t matter for me; I just focus on being a better player and doing the things that I didn’t win today, and try to win the tournament. That’s my goal for Shanghai.”
As Carlos Alcaraz prepares to make his mark in Shanghai, tennis enthusiasts eagerly await his performance and progress in this prestigious event.
