Carlos Alcaraz takes a giant step in his recovery. The Spaniard has shared a video on his social media of his latest training session where an increase in the intensity of his shots is noticeable, especially with his right wrist, the same one he injured last April at the Conde de Godó in Barcelona. In fact, the video shows him hitting twelve forehands, six of them topspin. All at a speed close to match level.
This confirms that Alcaraz has entered the final phase of his recovery, the most challenging one. The phase of progressively increasing the intensity of his wrist. Although the priority at this moment is for him not to experience any pain or discomfort in the affected area during these training shots.
Carlos Alcaraz back to practice! 🎾🔥

Carlos Alcaraz returns to training at high intensity with a powerful forehand
If everything goes as planned, the intensity of the training will increase. As reported by El País, the next step is to train on outdoor hard courts, where the Cincinnati Masters 1000 and the US Open will take place. The two tournaments in which the seven-time Grand Slam champion is expected to compete.
Since the beginning of the injury, Alcaraz's goal and those around him have been the complete recovery of his wrist, even if that meant missing many tournaments. However, this published video and a comment Alcaraz made yesterday on his brother Álvaro's Instagram, where he said, "now back to the ring," seem to indicate that sensations and recovery are progressing very well.

Since the Spaniard was injured in his debut at Conde de Godó, he has missed the Mutua Madrid Open, the Rome Masters 1000, Roland Garros, the Queen's ATP 500, Wimbledon, and the Canadian Masters 1000. That is, seven tournaments in four months, resulting in 4,800 lost points and a drop to the third position in the ATP rankings.
Nevertheless, Alcaraz's priority upon his return to the ATP circuit will be regaining sensations on the court and getting practice at Cincinnati, to later try to defend the US Open title. However, it is worth mentioning that the slightest discomfort would make him stop again, as he does not want to take any risks or suffer any setbacks that could be more severe than this four-month absence.
Caution is necessary, but watching Carlos Alcaraz hitting his forehand at that pace and intensity brings excitement to the tennis world for his imminent comeback.
