Carlos Alcaraz landed in Paris on Wednesday and he’s confident he will be “100%” ready. He’s “happy” with the evolution of his forearm injury, and the player admitted “things are going well lately”, although he needs to be “a lot of hours on the court just to get the rhythm” on clay.

“Things are going well lately, I’m really happy with all the progress. It was difficult for me because at the beginning the doctors told me it’s not going to be really serious, it’s just going to take a few days, from five to seven, and it wasn’t that time,” the Murcia native explained.

The Spaniard has dealt with problems in the last two months due to a forearm injury, missing the big clay court events in Monte Carlo, Barcelona, and Rome. He was at the Mutua Madrid Open in May, although he lost to the Russian Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals.
