Alcaraz Shows Signs of Recovery but Return Date Remains Unclear

Encouraging comments from Spain’s Davis Cup captain plus trainer footage point to steady rehab with ranking consequences for his season.

Overview

  • The 23‑year‑old injured his right wrist at the Barcelona Open in early April and has not played since, withdrawing from Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros, the Queen’s Club events and Wimbledon.
  • Spain’s Davis Cup captain David Ferrer told reporters this week that Alcaraz’s recovery is going well and urged patience in the rehab process.
  • New footage posted by Alcaraz’s physical trainer shows him running without a wrist brace, a development reporters and fans are treating as a positive sign of progress.
  • There is no confirmed timetable for a competitive return and experts warn that wrist tenosynovitis can require extended rehabilitation before elite play resumes.
  • Missing major events has already cost Alcaraz key ATP points and could reshape season seedings and title races; a comeback around the North American hard‑court swing is being discussed but remains conditional on medical clearance.
