One year ago Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner dominated the scene among the Internazionali di Roma, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon. Today, both are out due to injury, and others are taking the spotlight. While Sinner raised the white flag in Paris, Alcaraz has been sidelined for a while, but perhaps he finally sees a light at the end of the tunnel.

It is not yet time to make announcements or mark a date in red on the calendar. But after weeks of silence, doubts, and images of the Spanish champion forced to train even with his left hand to avoid stressing the injured wrist, a message of optimism comes from Madrid.
The message comes from David Ferrer, former world number 3 and captain of the Spanish Davis Cup team, someone who often talks with Alcaraz and knows well the moods and conditions of the Murcian star. Interviewed by RNE Deportes, Ferrer explained that the recovery is going in the right direction, although no one wants to take risks: “I talk to him and the recovery is going well. The goal is for him to return during the season on hard courts and make it to the US Open. Let’s hope. I don’t know for sure.”

Carlos Alcaraz continues his recovery journey away from the courts, but without losing his smile. The Spaniard, forced…
A cautious but encouraging message, confirming that the big goal of the Alcaraz team is the return for the last Slam of the season, the one he triumphed in last season. After all, the wrist problem is very delicate. In modern tennis, it is one of the most stressed joints, and a relapse could compromise not only the end of the season but also 2027.
For this reason, Ferrer insists on caution: “The important thing is that when he returns to play and makes his official competition debut, he is really ready.” In recent hours, the two have spoken again. “I sent him a message very early. He replied immediately. He told me he was going to Barcelona to see Dr. Ángel Cotorro.” A sign that medical checks continue and monitoring remains constant.

The best news, however, concerns the mind. Because Alcaraz, Ferrer says, is eager to return. “He has a great desire to compete. This gives me enthusiasm and confidence.” For someone used to living on the court, hunger counts almost as much as the body. And that, apparently, has never waned.
