All fans of Carlos Alcaraz were waiting to hear from the player himself about the condition of his ankle after twisting it at the beginning of the match against Seba Báez in the first round of the ATP Tokyo. During his press conference, the player from Murcia reassured everyone as it seems that his sensations are not entirely bad.

That's what he himself told the journalists present at the end of his debut in Tokyo. Although with a serious expression, Alcaraz admitted feeling somewhat "relieved" to see that the pain has not worsened as the minutes passed and his ankle cooled down. It is likely that it was just a scare, but the following hours and how he wakes up tomorrow will determine if he will be ready to play this Saturday against Bergs in the second round of the tournament.

Feelings about what happened with his ankle

“I feel it was bad luck. I was feeling good and went running for a drop shot I made in the fifth game when it all happened. I would say that what saved me is that I was running forward. Thanks to that, the twist wasn't severe. I got worried because for the first few minutes, I didn't feel well in my ankle.

After a while, I started to feel better. The fact that I could walk to the bench was a relief. Right now I feel the same, which I would say is great because I feel the same way as at the end of the match, once the area has cooled down. That's a good sign,” commented the world number 1.

Alcaraz will have Friday off to rest and prepare better for his second-round match at the ATP Tokyo. “This day and a half will be crucial for my recovery. I will do everything possible to be in good condition and be ready to play,” the player from Murcia concluded.

We will have to wait for the next few hours to see if the good feelings he had at the end of the match, following treatment from Juanjo Moreno, his physiotherapist, remain the same when he wakes up on Friday. If he doesn't feel quite right, it wouldn't make much sense to play the second round of a 500 tournament with everything that lies ahead for Carlitos in the coming weeks until the end of the season.
