Rafa Nadal spoke with RNE, after inaugurating the museum of his academy, about Carlos Alcaraz's wrist injury and confessed that he personally called to inquire: "He is no longer a rookie on the circuit, he knows what happens in these situations. Obviously, it's a big setback because it happened at this time of the year. I think it's tough, but fortunately, it's an injury that won't be chronic, and he has made the right decisions, highlighting that he is very young, has a whole career ahead of him, and is undergoing the necessary treatment. It's something I know well because I broke mine twice, similar to what he has now broken. I spoke to him when it happened, but what we talked about stays between us," remarked the former Spanish tennis player.
