It was the image we all wanted to see, Carlos Alcaraz is now holding the racket with his right hand, the same hand that suffered a wrist injury last April, keeping him sidelined for over two and a half months. Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Roland Garros, Queen's, and Wimbledon have been the toll to pay, but the Murcian is finally back to training, a sign that his recovery is progressing well.

However, the video posted by Alcaraz on his social media shows him hitting balls at a low intensity, more like touching the ball to regain sensations, with time to increase speed and power later on. It is also noticeable that he continues to wear a bandage on his right wrist.

These are the steps Carlos Alcaraz will follow for his return to the ATP circuit

One day before Wimbledon begins, Alcaraz is facing the final stretch of his recovery, focusing on training and regaining both tennis and physical sensations. It has been repeatedly emphasized that the number one priority for the Murcian and his team is to return to competition when he is fully recovered. They do not want to take risks and rush back, potentially leading to a setback.

Although beginning to hold the racket with his right hand and hitting balls is a positive sign, it is not conclusive. From now on, training will gradually escalate, and if everything progresses as expected, his return is expected during the North American hard court swing.

🚨 CARLOS ALCARAZ ALREADY TRAINING WITH HIS RIGHT HAND 🫱

The Murcian has shared on his Instagram how he has started hitting very softly with his right hand.

As we have been reporting for the past month, his plan was to start like this by early July and increase the intensity. pic.twitter.com/uA4D7FU8MK

Punto de Break previously reported, in an advance by RNE, that Alcaraz is targeting three tournaments for his ATP circuit return: Los Cabos, Washington or the Canadian Masters 1000, this year to be held in Montreal. Depending on his sensations, he will decide in which of the three tournaments he makes his comeback.

Once he returns to competition and his body is at 100%, the spotlight event will be the US Open, which he won for the second time last year and where he will have to defend the 2,000 champion points. Therefore, with adequate preparation in the preceding two Masters 1000 events (Canada and Cincinnati), who knows what the New York Grand Slam might bring.

Even though he is still in the midst of recovery, the image of Carlos Alcaraz training with his right hand, the one that mesmerizes with impossible shots and unique craftsmanship, sparks hope and excitement that the return of the seven-time Grand Slam champion is drawing nearer.
