Back in Action After Injury
Carlos Alcaraz made a powerful return to the ATP Tour at the 2025 Italian Open in Rome. The 22-year-old Spaniard had pulled out of the Madrid Open due to a right leg injury suffered during the Barcelona Open final. Now fully recovered, he returned to the court determined and confident.
Strong Start Against Lajovic
In his first match, Alcaraz played against Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic, who entered the tournament as a 'lucky loser'. Alcaraz showed no signs of rust, winning the first set 6-3 and leading 5-2 in the second before the match concluded. He has now beaten Lajovic five times in a row without dropping a single set.
Eyes on the World No. 2 Spot
Alcaraz’s run in Rome is more than just a comeback. He is chasing the World No. 2 ranking. To reclaim that spot, he needs to at least reach the semifinals—depending on how Alexander Zverev performs in the same tournament.
Spotlight Beyond the Court
Alcaraz is also gaining attention off the court thanks to his appearance in a new Netflix series called "A su manera" ("My Way"). The show gives fans a closer look at his personality and mindset. While some former stars like Carlos Moyá have questioned his methods, Alcaraz says enjoying life and staying true to himself is key to his success.
Focused on French Open Defense
Looking forward, Alcaraz is confident about defending his title at the French Open. With his current form and positive attitude, he believes he’s ready to take on Roland Garros again.
How to Follow His Matches
