Carlos Alcaraz suffered an apparent Achilles issue during his match in Tokyo, raising concerns about his physical condition. The Spaniard, who has battled various physical setbacks throughout the season, showed visible discomfort before play was halted.
Match Suspended Due to Rain
The match was suspended due to rain with Alcaraz leading 5-4 and serving for the set. The interruption came at a critical moment, potentially offering the world No. 2 a chance to recover before resumption.
Implications for the Tournament
With the Tokyo event being a key stop in Alcaraz’s preparation for the season’s final stretch, any injury could have significant implications. Tournament officials have yet to confirm whether play will resume today or be postponed.
