Alcaraz calms fears with his knee: "After five or six stitches, the pain went away"
Despite dominating Luciano Darderi from start to finish in the third round of the US Open, Carlos Alcaraz raised concerns when he asked for the physiotherapist to treat some discomfort in his right knee. However, in the on-court interview, he downplayed the situation: "I feel good. Just as a precaution, I asked to see the physiotherapist when he broke my serve on the last point. I felt something in the knee wasn't right. After 5 or 6 points, the pain subsided. I asked to see the physiotherapist just to take care of my knee because there was still a set to go; I had to be ready and feel physically well. I will talk to my team, but I am not worried."
