Every cloud has a silver lining, or so they say. The harsh news of Carlos Alcaraz's withdrawal from Roland Garros due to his wrist injury brings many negative aspects, but there is a positive one. The absence of the player from Murcia in Paris allows Dani Mérida to enter directly into the main draw and skip the qualifiers, as he was on the edge of the Entry List announced last week. This way, the player from Madrid will make his Grand Slam debut in style.
