Breaking news from Bologna regarding the health status of Carlos Alcaraz. As reported by Cadena COPE a few minutes ago, the Spanish player has a muscle edema, so it is not certain that we will see him compete.
At least, not compete this coming Thursday starting at 10:00 in the morning when Spain debuts in the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup Finals 2025 against the Czech Republic. After reaching the final of the ATP Finals in Turin, the likelihood of Carlos Alcaraz arriving cautiously for this event was quite probable, a fear that has started to materialize tonight.
It was Cadena COPE that broke the news a few minutes ago through the information brought by Ángel García from Bologna. After undergoing the relevant tests on his thigh, which we saw bandaged in his match against Sinner this Sunday, the player from Murcia discovered that he has a muscle edema, meaning his presence on Thursday against the Czechs is in doubt. This poses a challenge for the Spanish team and for David Ferrer, who welcomed him this afternoon after a four-hour road trip.
Alcaraz may only play singles against the Czech Republic
Ferrer's plans were actually to have Alcaraz play in both singles and doubles, which is normal when you have the World No. 1 on your team. With this change of plans, in the best-case scenario, we would see Carlos playing only the singles, although there is a fear within his circle that this extra effort may lead to an injury. Clearly, no one wants this.
For now, the plan is not to have Alcaraz on the court tomorrow, Tuesday, a perfect day to rest and recharge energy for a possible debut on Thursday. At this point, Thursday's debut seems very distant, so everything will depend on how he feels on Wednesday when he tests himself on the court.
