Carlos Alcaraz continues to advance in the recovery of his wrist injury and has already returned to training on the court. The progress is positive, but the player from Murcia is following a cautious roadmap and his return to competition is not yet assured.

As reported by La Verdad de Murcia, it is anticipated that Alcaraz will travel to the Cincinnati Masters 1000 with the intention to compete, although his presence is not guaranteed, and if he participates in the tournament, he may do so without being fully at his physical peak yet.

A Return Without Taking Risks

The Spanish player has already started hitting the ball, but with reduced workload and avoiding full training sets. Both the player and his team aim to gradually increase the intensity of the sessions, respecting the planned timelines and avoiding any steps that could jeopardize the rest of the season.

📰 According to @laverdad_es:

“The expectation is that he will travel to the Cincinnati Masters 1000 with the intention of competing, although his participation is not guaranteed and, should he play, he may not be at his optimal physical level.“ https://t.co/Cu2k2ssOYd pic.twitter.com/PnRB3YEi8V

In this context, Cincinnati emerges as the ideal setting for his return, as long as the wrist's evolution remains positive. The American Masters 1000 would allow Alcaraz to compete before the US Open, regain match rhythm, shake off the rust after several weeks of inactivity, and test how the joint responds under the demands of an official match.

In any case, the Murcian's presence will solely depend on the sensations his wrist conveys in the upcoming weeks. If any discomfort persists, the priority will remain ensuring he arrives in the best possible condition for the last Grand Slam of the season, even if it means foregoing competing in Cincinnati.
