Rotterdam director discusses Alcaraz's withdrawal: "It was not a big surprise"

Richard Krajicek, tournament director of the ATP Rotterdam, has spoken about the withdrawal of Carlos Alcaraz from the tournament due to accumulated fatigue from the Australian Open. Despite defending his title, the world number one has decided to prioritize his physical condition, a decision that did not catch anyone by surprise. "When I saw him cramping against Zverev, I was already worried. Later I found out he made it to the final, and I knew it would be tough. Monday morning his agent messaged me, but it wasn't a surprise. I was expecting it," he acknowledged.
