Carlos Alcaraz is receiving numerous criticisms after his wrist injury suffered at the 2026 Barcelona Open, as many believe it originated from playing too many matches. However, Rick Macci (former coach of Serena Williams) thinks the opposite. "The Spanish magician will be at 100%, and all speculations that he is playing too much and that the exhibitions were the cause of the injury are an exaggerated and inexperienced reaction. If you don't play enough, you are more likely to get injured. Injuries are part of sports. Carlos, his father, and the team know how to play and what to do," he stated on his 'X' account.
