Carlos Alcaraz is a talented young tennis player who has won the Grand Slam title twice. However, he was forced to swallow disappointment this time because he lost to Alexander Zverev with a landslide score at Pala Alpitour, Italy. Their scores were 7-6, 3-6, and 4-6, with Zverev winning. In the 2022 ATP Finals, these two talented tennis players did not participate in the tournament due to injury. Carlos Alcaraz, a tennis player, missed the tournament due to an abdominal injury. Meanwhile, Zverev left the tournament due to an ankle injury.
Carlos Alcaraz is Heartened to Accept Disappointment
He acknowledged Zverev’s greatness in this match. Many of the tennis player’s fans suspect that the defeat was related to the problems that Alcaraz recently suffered. Last month, he experienced problems in his legs and back. After returning from leg and back problems, Alcaraz also lost at the ATP Masters 1000 in Paris in the second round. Not wanting to be down with this defeat, he tried to take part in the match at Pala Alpitour. In the end, he was not able to return to playing satisfactorily.
The 1.83-meter-tall tennis player said that he had tried his best by practicing. He also felt physically healthy. It’s just that he also provided information via the ATP website that he would try to develop to be better. Of course, he also expressed that he would try to improve his mental state.
As seen in the match, Alcaraz was unable to take breakpoint opportunities when facing Averev. If only he could take that opportunity, there was a chance he could win the match. On the other hand, Zverev managed to restore his performance through the match with Alcaraz. He has completely recovered from an ankle injury while competing at the Paris Open. Although in the third set, Zverev seemed to experience a sprained moment. Then Zverev stated that he just slipped and hoped that no health problems would happen to him again.
Carlos Alcaraz will try to rebuild his mentality in the next match. However, Alcaraz still has the potential to develop, considering his young age. Carlos Alcaraz’s net worth will reach $14 million in 2023.
