Learner Tien continues to excel on clay courts and is already in the quarterfinals of the ATP 250 Geneva. The American defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas (7-6, 7-6) to keep progressing in the Swiss tournament. The Greek player still struggles to find his form after a glimpse of improvement in Madrid, but he will arrive at Roland Garros far from his best. Tien, on the other hand, is evolving on his less favorite surface and now awaits Wawrinka or Michelsen in the next round.

Rafa Jódar has already marked the first destination for the grass-court tour. The Spaniard will compete in the prestigious ATP 500 Queen’s tournament, chosen to debut on grass and begin his preparation for Wimbledon. It will be Jódar's first professional experience on a surface completely different from what he is used to. The London tournament will feature a high-level lineup despite the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, a two-time champion there. Confirmed players include Alex de Minaur, Lorenzo Musetti, and Jiří Lehečka, Jódar's first major challenges to gauge his level on grass.

The absence of Alcaraz at Wimbledon once again puts the focus on a concerning fact about the Spaniard: the Grand Slams missed due to injury or physical problems at his 23 years.  The Murcian will have already missed at least 3 major tournaments, a striking number when compared to other recent tennis giants. Among the Big 3, only Nadal missed both Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same season, though it occurred towards the end of his career and far from his physical peak. Federer never missed Wimbledon, and Djokovic has never missed either Roland Garros or Wimbledon. Even more striking is the comparison with Jannik Sinner, who has yet to miss any Grand Slam in his entire career.

 

Alcaraz will miss, at least, 3 Grand Slams at 23 years old.

Sinner has not missed any yet.

The main goal for Carlos from now on should be to carefully choose his calendar to be 100% at the Slams.

Carlos Alcaraz's wrist injury continues to generate concern and debate. A hand surgery specialist analyzed on El Partidazo de COPE the recovery process of the player from Murcia and advocated for caution with his conservative treatment. "It is a very sensitive area for a tennis player, and it is not surprising that he may be immobilized for so long as he has been," explained the doctor. Additionally, he pointed out that surgery does not necessarily speed up the recovery time and issued a clear warning about hastening the return: "It is a pity to miss tournaments, but many future championships are at stake." The specialist also mentioned complex precedents such as Juan Martín del Potro.

Carlos Alcaraz joined the congratulations to his top rival, Jannik Sinner, after the Italian's historic victory at the Rome Masters 1000. Sinner completes the Golden Masters with this title (winning all ATP Masters 1000 tournaments), an achievement that didn't go unnoticed by the young Murcian, who is still recovering from his wrist injury. "Congratulations, Jannik, on completing the Golden Masters, you deserve it," wrote Alcaraz on his Instagram account.

It seemed like he had the ticket to the round of 16 completely secured, but Marco Trungelliti starred in one of the most difficult-to-explain defeats of the week at the ATP 250 in Geneva. The Argentine was leading by 7-5, 5-1 (30-15), but ended up losing to Mariano Navone in a completely unexpected turn of events: 7-5, 5-7, 1-6, after 2 hours and 55 minutes of battle. Trungelliti began to show physical problems in a knee and ended up collapsing from that favorable 5-1 lead in the second set. Navone, much stronger physically and never losing faith, took advantage of his compatriot's downturn to complete an incredible comeback and set a date with Cameron Norrie in the round of 16.
