Carlos Alcaraz, the world No. 3, has been facing health challenges recently, leading to a halt in his training sessions. His coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, provided an update on Alcaraz’ condition and the reasons behind the decision to stop training.

Alcaraz has been dealing with a cold that has affected his breathing. He has been seen sniffling and using tissues frequently during matches. Additionally, he has experienced stomach problems as a side effect of the medication he has been taking. These health issues have significantly impacted his performance and ability to train effectively.

On Tuesday, Alcaraz had to cut short his training session after just 10 minutes due to difficulty breathing and chest tightness. Ferrero explained that when Alcaraz tries to move, he faces trouble breathing, which necessitated the early end to the training session. Ferrero emphasized that it’s a bad time to get sick, especially with important matches ahead.

Despite the health setbacks, Ferrero remains optimistic about Alcaraz’ ability to play. He mentioned that many players have played while not feeling 100% and believes Alcaraz will be able to compete in his upcoming matches. However, he acknowledged that it will be challenging for Alcaraz to be at his best.

Alcaraz’ health issues have already affected his performance. He recently lost to Casper Ruud in straight sets at the ATP Finals. Ferrero stated that Alcaraz will need to beat Andrey Rublev in his next match to have a chance of progressing to the semifinals. The coach hopes that Alcaraz will recover enough to play and perform well.
