Spanish tennis player Carlos Alaras He withdrew from the tournament ATP 1000 in Madrid Due to the injury of the drive muscle it received during the finals in Barcelona. A 21-year-old Spaniard officially announced this at a press conference in the capital of Spain.

“In the final in Barcelona, ​​I felt something in the left back of the thigh, but I didn’t think that everything was so serious. I am very upset that I will not be able to play here in Madrid. This is a place where I like to speak to my public, in front of family and friends. They cannot travel to the tournaments often, so this tournament is special for me.

It was a very difficult decision – to give up participation. But unfortunately, life is. Tennis is an extremely demanding sport. You play a week after a week, many matches in a row, and the body sometimes takes time to recover. We have to make difficult decisions. I will return stronger, with new forces to the next tournaments. But now I am really upset that I will not speak in Madrid. ”

Alaras received medical care during the final match against Holger Rune in Barcelona. He was treated with the upper right leg. The two-time Madrid tournament champion, which had previously received the title in Monte Carlo, hoped to recover, but realized that it was too early.

“This year I first went so far to Monte Carlo, but also lost for the first time in the first match in Miam. It gave me time to prepare for the soil season. But it is not easy. A completely different coverage, the transition from hardov to soil, and at the same time so many matches in a row – almost without rest. Players have to make a difficult choice, ”Alaras said.

Now Carlos hopes to recover from the tournament in Rome, which he missed last year because of his hand injury.

“My plan is to play in Rome. Mentally i set up to do my best to be 100% ready for the tournament. At the beginning of next week, I will pass the tests to understand how much the condition has improved, and it will depend on how to proceed. I hope to speak in Rome. If not, the next tournament for me is Rolan Harros. I will try to return to the court as soon as possible. ”

At the moment, Carlitos has 24 wins and 5 defeats in the season. It ranks first in the ATP-Gone rating.
