New world number 6, Carlos Alcaraz will not make his debut at the 2022 Italian Open as per L'Equipe the Spaniard announced that he will skip the event to focus on Roland Garros.
Carlos Alcaraz enjoyed a sensational week in Madrid when he defeated Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in consecutive matches and on Sunday, he destroyed Alexander Zverev in the final to lift the 2022 Madrid Open trophy.
In his quarterfinal match against Nadal, the young Spaniard twisted his ankle and for a moment it looked like he won't be able to finish the match. However, he managed to win the whole tournament but after two marathon matches against Nadal and Djokovic, he will need some rest and therefore has decided to skip the 2022 Italian Open.
After his second triumph in his home country, Alcaraz said: “It feels great to be able to beat these players. To beat two of the best players in history and then Zverev, the World No. 3. He is a great player. I would say this is the best week of my life. I am 19 years old, which I think is the key to be able to play long and tough matches in a row. I am feeling great physically.”
“Watching Rafa lift this trophy gave me a lot of power to work hard for this moment. It is a great moment for me. It is the first tournament I watched, so lifting the trophy today is so emotional. I think that it's better to rest, to recover my ankle, recover my feet, to be in Paris at 100%. Due to the fall that I had with Rafa, the ankle, I had a problem, and this morning it was a little more swollen. And also I had a blister in my feet which was a little bit infected, and it's been a little bit tough start of the day. It was difficult for me to walk.”
