The words of Carlos Alcaraz
No Australian Open for Carlos Alcaraz.
The world number one announced on Twitter that he will skip the first round of the slam, which will start on Melbourne’s concrete next Jan. 16.
“During the preseason, I injured myself due to a random and unnatural movement during practice. This time it is the semimembranosus muscle in my right leg. I worked so hard to reach my best level for Australia, but unfortunately I won’t be able to play. It’s tough, but I have to be optimistic, recover and look forward. Australian Open, see you in 2024.”
