Carlos Alcaraz spoke to the media for the first time since announcing his withdrawal from the 2025 Davis Cup Finals on Tuesday, opening up on a virtual press conference about the hamstring injury that will require two weeks of recovery.
“I was really looking forward to playing for Spain,” said Alcaraz, who clinched ATP Year-End No. 1 last week at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. “But the season has been really long, with highs and lows. Right now, I’m just getting treatment to be good as soon as I can. I’m feeling a bit of pain in the hamstring. I’m a bit sad, but at the same time, the season is over.”
Alcaraz finished runner-up to rival Jannik Sinner in Turin, but nonetheless finished atop the ATP rankings thanks to two more major victories at Roland Garros and the US Open, and plans to be back on court in time to compete at “A Racquet at the Rock” and the “Miami Invitational” on December 7 and December 8, respectively.
The Spaniard will first face Frances Tiafoe at the Prudential Center before taking on Brazilian youngster Joao Fonseca at the LoanDepot Park in Miami, home to the Miami Marlins baseball team.
