The days go by and little by little, Carlos Alcaraz is getting closer to returning to the tennis courts. After traveling to the United States to enjoy the World Cup final, where Spain won its second star, the player from Murcia returns home to begin a phase where it will be determined if he continues on his path to reach Cincinnati or if the wrist sends him a warning that it is not yet ready.

Throughout this week, as Point of Break mentioned, an increase in the intensity of his training is expected to start aiming for Cincinnati. After some initial light ball contacts that Alcaraz himself shared on his social media, he now faces one of the most important steps: raising the level and having the wrist respond.

Carlos Alcaraz's next step involves increasing the intensity of his training

If all goes as expected, Alcaraz will make his anticipated comeback in Cincinnati. In fact, the Spaniard is the title defender in Ohio and will need to go as far as possible if he wants to regain the world number two ranking before the US Open. Otherwise, he could face Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of the New York Grand Slam. He needs to defend a total of 3,000 points on this North American hard court swing (1,000 in Cincinnati and 2,000 in the US Open).

However, Alcaraz and his team have a clear priority. Neither defending the title in Cincinnati nor that of the US Open, the important thing is to return fully healed and without any risk of relapse with the wrist. If they need to further delay his return to the courts for this purpose, they will. Nevertheless, Alcaraz's dedication to recovering as soon as possible was evident during his vacation in Italy, where he was seen doing wrist exercises with his physio on a yacht.

Some voices, particularly former tennis players like Mark Philippousis or Richard Krajicek, have expressed their uncertainty about Alcaraz's injury, the limited information available regarding the exact extent of his wrist problems, and the difficulty of fully recovering in such a delicate area.

Since Carlos Alcaraz was forced to withdraw from the Conde de Godó in Barcelona due to wrist discomfort that led to injury, the seven-time Grand Slam champion has missed the Mutua Madrid Open, the Rome Masters 1000, Roland Garros, ATP Queen's, Wimbledon, and the Canada Masters 1000. In total, more than three months have passed, and it will be at least four, as Cincinnati starts the week of August 10.
