Carlos Alcaraz wants to accelerate his work pace and shorten deadlines in his recovery, as long as this does not involve risks. Things seem to be progressing at a good pace, judging by how often videos of his training sessions are being shared by Alcaraz's entourage. With demanding physical sessions on the indoor court he has in Murcia, the world number 2 is increasingly conveying better sensations.

This is evident from the videos posted on social networks during Wednesday afternoon, where Alcaraz is seen dynamic and electric in his movements, committed to getting into the best physical condition possible and hitting the ball with increasing power. Caution still prevails, as shown by the fact that he is hitting only with his left hand, with the next step being to start hitting the ball with the racket held in his right hand. Many have been impressed by Carlos's tremendous ability to play with his left hand, a key element in understanding his exceptional two-handed backhand.

There is much discussion about the possible return dates for the Murcian to competition. Los Cabos, Washington, or even the Masters 1000 in Canada emerge as possible events that could welcome the Spanish player back to the ATP circuit. The priority is that this upward trend observed in recent weeks does not experience any setbacks in the form of setbacks, with the emergence of possible discomfort.
