The Spaniard suffered an ailment in his right forearm on Friday and was unable to recover to make his debut tomorrow against Felix Auger-Aliassime. Today he travels to Murcia and his participation in the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadel, which begins on Monday, is also in doubt.
The Spanish Carlos Alcaraz dropped out of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 not recovering from the discomfort in his right forearm (injury to the pronator teres) that he has been carrying since last Friday, the day he had his first preparatory session at the Cuntry Club.
Alcaraz appeared bandaged in subsequent training sessions, which he performed at a slower pace and cutting the ball more than hitting, accompanied by his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. The organization, to save time, scheduled his debut with Felix Auger-Aliassime for tomorrow, but the world number three did not recover in time and His place will be taken by the first ‘lucky loser’, which in this case is the Italian Lorenzo Sonego.

The Opinion of Murcia
The Murcian, in a statement issued through social networks, confirmed that he will not participate in the Principality’s courts.
“I have been working in Monte Carlo and trying to recover until the last moment from an injury to the pronator teres in my right arm,” explained the Spaniard, who was due to make his debut against the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the first clay-court ATP Masters 1000 of the season. . “But it hasn’t been possible and I won’t be able to play! I was very excited to be able to play. See you next year!
The Murcian will have to wait to display his tennis at the Monte-Carlo Country Club, an iconic venue on the circuit where he has barely played a match throughout his career. After losing his debut against Sebastian Korda in the 2022 edition, the Spaniard had to resign due to injury from the first ATP Masters 1000 on the calendar in the last two seasons.
Last year he missed the event due to post-traumatic arthritis in his left hand and muscular discomfort in his spine.
Juan Carlos Ferrero’s pupil faces a European clay court tour full of results to defend, including the crowns of the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, the Mutua Madrid Open and Rome, as a prelude to Roland Garros.
