World number 3 Carlos Alcaraz will not play the Masters 1000 in Rome, starting next week, due to his right forearm being sore again after his resumption in Madrid, he announced on social networks this Friday, three weeks before Roland-Garros.
“I felt some pain, some discomfort in my arm after playing in Madrid. I had exams today (Friday) and I have muscular edema in the pronator teres (a forearm muscle, editor’s note), a consequence of my recent injury. Unfortunately I won’t be able to play in Rome. I need rest to recover and be able to play without any pain,” he explained.
