Overview

  • He rolled his left ankle during his Tokyo opener against Sebastian Baez, received on-court treatment and taping from physiotherapist Juanjo Moreno, and still won 6-4, 6-2.
  • He woke with continued pain the following day and opted to rest instead of taking part in Friday’s planned training, according to Marca reports cited by Italian media.
  • Tournament organizers scheduled his meeting with Zizou Bergs as the last match on Saturday to allow the maximum recovery window before a final call.
  • Alcaraz called the episode a scare and said he initially thought he would not continue before finishing the match.
  • The team is weighing precaution with late-season priorities, including the ranking race and high-points events such as Shanghai, Paris-Bercy and the ATP Finals.
