Cariacontecido, Carlos Alcaraz (20) shares his regret, the arguments that have forced him to give up defending his double crown in the Godó Trophy.
To communicate, the world number 3 has traveled the 570 kilometers that separate Murcia from Barcelona, a route with views of the Mediterranean, and then he has sat down in the RCTB press room to analyze, without the possibility of questions, his feelings, the reasons that, these days, they have denied him taking to the court.
The scene is reduced to four minutes:
-I won't be able to play in Barcelona but I wanted to come and explain it in person because this club is a big part of my life. It started in Monte Carlo, after an hour in the first training session, I felt significant discomfort in my forearm. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but the physio and I looked at it. I tried to see if with patience and treatment I could play. On Saturday I took tests. The images were positive, but on Sunday when hitting the forehand I noticed it every time, and as the intensity increased I noticed more discomfort. And it was a difficult decision because the tournament is important to me. My feeling is not correct, but it is what it is. I have a little more margin, I have a goal of going to the Mutua Madrid Open but at the moment I am not clear at all.
Then he leaves the stage.
