"The injuries worry me, not a good sign" - Stubbs on Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz hasn't had a very good few months on the ATP Tour as his play was spectacular but his health wasn't that great.

When he played, Alcaraz was really strong but he suffered more injuries than he played events in recent months and it's something Rennae Stubbs took notice of. The former player doesn't think it's a very good sign due to the physical nature of his play.

I got to say the injuries are worrying me and that age to consistently get these injuries is not a good sign. He [Carlos Alcaraz] should not be getting injuries at this age. You get them at 35 and 38 and 39, not at 19 and 20.

Stubbs on Alcaraz's injuries

Despite the injuries, Stubbs is certain that Alcaraz will win plenty of more grand slams because his game is so strong. It's especially strong on clay where he could win over 5 grand slams in her humble opinion. Staying healthy will be crucial.

[Alcaraz is] one of the great claycourt players that's probably going to win the French Open probably eight or nine times. He is so young and at some point Rafa and Roger and Nole they are all gone at some point, right? And who's going to pick up the baton? It'll be this guy.
