Carlos Alcaraz reassured fans that he will be “at 100%” for the U.S. Open despite a recent injury scare. The 21-year-old Spanish tennis star had to halt his training session in New York on Saturday after twisting his ankle, though he clarified that it was merely a precautionary measure. Alcaraz stated he was never seriously concerned about missing the tournament and expressed confidence that he would be fully fit in the coming days.
Alcaraz, a four-time Grand Slam champion, noted his frustration with having to stop his practice but emphasized his commitment to being ready for his opening match at Flushing Meadows against Australian Li Tu. He also reflected on his recent experiences, including the disappointment of losing the gold medal match to Novak Djokovic at the Olympics, but took pride in winning the silver medal and is focused on improving his approach to important matches.
Despite his recent loss to Gael Monfils at the Cincinnati Open, Alcaraz is undeterred by his limited hard-court preparation, drawing confidence from his previous success on different surfaces. He remains optimistic about his chances as he aims for a second U.S. Open title.
