Carlos Alcaraz has raised alarms in his debut against Otto Virtanen at the 2026 Barcelona Open by calling the physio at the end of the first set due to some wrist discomfort. However, he sought to calm things down after the match. "These discomforts come up. I've played many matches in a few days, with little rest between games. Coming here, with all the travel and lack of preparation, always causes some minor discomforts that we need to try to take care of as best as we can. Now, when I go out, I will meet with my team, my physio will evaluate it, but I believe and feel that it won't be anything serious and that we will be able to take the court on Thursday."
