Carlos Alcaraz, the former world number one, has sparked some concerns after being seen practicing in Cincinnati with bandages on both thighs. The 21-year-old Spanish sensation arrived in Cincinnati on Sunday and immediately commenced intensive training sessions. The bandages are likely a precautionary measure to protect his joints and avoid any potential injuries as he gears up for the demanding tournament schedule.
Alcaraz, who has had an impressive season so far, is set to make his debut at the Cincinnati Masters on Thursday. Despite the visible precautions, there is no indication that his participation in the tournament is in jeopardy.
