“Either Alcaraz learns to dose himself or at 22 he will go on crutches”

The last injury or annoyance of Carlos Alcaraz, which will prevent him from playing the Monte Carlo Masters 1,000, has generated debates in the world of tennis. The Murcian announced on Tuesday on social networks that he will not be able to participate in the Monegasque tournament. “I have post-traumatic arthritis in my left hand and muscular discomfort in the spine”specified the number two in the world.

From Italy, the native country of one of the great generational rivals of the Spanish, Jannik Sinner, comes a striking opinion about what has been happening to the Spaniard for a few months, who was unable to compete at the end of last season in the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup Finals, and missed the Australian Open due to two muscle injuries. “Alcaraz must learn to dose himself because if he continues like this, he will end up on crutches at the age of 22 “says Guido Monaco, a 49-year-old Italian tennis player, currently a tennis commentator at Eurosport, in a statement collected by OA Sports.

“He cannot do 80 splits (splits or leg openings) per game, although we are talking about a very talented athlete ”Monaco continues, who compares Alcaraz with Djokovic to explain his point of view. “He mentioned a problem with his left hand and back. He did well, having spent half the tournament in splits, that’s something he needs to learn. Djokovic, who has a similar type of defensive game, does that only on certain plays. He, on the other hand, is exuberant at the highest level and has exposed himself to a few more injuries.“.
