Alcaraz Spotted With Reduced Wrist Support in Portugal as Recovery Continues

The beach and practice footage suggests progress but medical staff have set a cautious timetable with no confirmed return to competition.

Overview

  • Alcaraz injured his right wrist at the Barcelona Open in April and then withdrew from the clay and grass swings, including Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
  • New video and photos from Comporta, Portugal, show him without the bulky splint seen earlier and playing light beach activity, prompting cautious optimism about healing.
  • There is still no confirmed comeback date and reports say he is expected to remain in rehabilitation for at least six more weeks under medical supervision.
  • Recent practice clips show him training with his left hand using a ‘cross‑education’ approach to protect the injured right wrist while maintaining tennis movement and fitness.
  • His prolonged absence has reshaped ranking dynamics and tournament draws, and media outlets are speculating—without confirmation—that he could target the Canadian Open or Cincinnati as a return option.
