Ahora es oficial. Carlos Alcaraz no jugará el Mutua Madrid Open en esta edición por sus problemas físicos. Tras las primeras informaciones, fue el propio Alcaraz el que lo confirmó en rueda de prensa, desde la Caja Mágica. “He hecho todo lo posible, pero estos días no mejoró mucho la cosa. Hay que escuchar al cuerpo. (…) Si jugaba, igual iba a estar jodido más tiempo de la cuenta. Había que escuchar al cuerpo y tomar decisiones difíciles. He tomado la decisión correcta. Intentaré descansar y estar lo más pronto posible en las pistas”, explicó Alcaraz ante una sala de prensa abarrotada.
Había que escuchar al cuerpo y tomar decisiones difíciles. He tomado la decisión correcta
“Como yo creo que todos sospechabais, por no poder entrenar estos días… en la final de Barcelona todos visteis que entró el fisio para tratarme el aductor derecho, pero también noté otra cosa en el isquio izquierdo. El martes me hice unas pruebas, estuve esperando y valorando mi equipo, con los médicos… a ver si iba a poder llegar en buenas condiciones para jugar en Madrid. He hecho todo lo posible, pero estos días no mejoró mucho la cosa. Hay que escuchar al cuerpo. Aunque Madrid sea una ciudad a la que espero todo el año para poder jugar, es un torneo muy ilusionante… no han salido las cosas como yo quería para poder jugar aquí. Hemos tomado la decisión de no tomar riesgos de cara al futuro. Si jugaba, igual iba a estar jodido más tiempo de la cuenta. Había que escuchar al cuerpo y tomar decisiones difíciles. He tomado la decisión correcta. Intentaré descansar y estar lo más pronto posible en las pistas”, fue su ‘speech’ completo e inicial ante los medios, previo a recibir preguntas.
Intentaré descansar y estar lo más pronto posible en las pistas
Los problemas vienen de Barcelona, cuando sintió molestias en el aductor de su pierna derecha durante la final que acabó perdiendo en el Godó ante Holger Rune. Y si bien el murciano viajó a Madrid y ha estado en numerosos actos en la previa del torneo, la resonancia y las pruebas médicas han sido claras: no podrá competir en el Mutua Madrid Open.
El calendario ha sido frenético para Alcaraz hasta el punto de haber encadenado 10 partidos en 12 días. Todo desde que arrancó el Masters 1000 de Montecarlo, que ganó por primera vez en su carrera… y que llegó hasta la final del Conde de Godó anteriormente mencionada.
Estará en Roland Garros
Además, actualizó de cara a su futura presencia en Roland Garros: “El lunes me hago otra prueba para ver cómo ha evolucionado en esta semana, y a partir de ahí veremos los tiempos. Ahí valoraremos cómo van a ser los próximos días, las próximas semanas, cómo está mi cuerpo. Creo que estaremos seguro (en Roland Garros), intentaremos estar en Roma. Ese es el objetivo”.

De hecho, Carlos incidió en lo importante que era valorar “el riesgo y el benficio” de haber jugado en este torneo. Pensar en el próximo Grand Slam (Roland Garros empezará el 25 de mayo), fue fundamental en la decisión de Alcaraz. “Decirle a la gente que siempre hago todo lo posible para llegar a estas fechas de la mejor forma posible, para que disfruten de mis tenis y yo pueda disfrutar también de su cariño y energía. Me jode no poder hacerles disfrutar este año”, fue el mensaje que quiso mandar a la afición que no podrá verlo en el Mutua.
“Estoy menos preocupado que el año pasado con la lesión del antebrazo. Esta lesión ya la he vivido previamente, estoy menos preocupado. Ojalá sea como el año pasado. Lo que tengo claro es que esto lo vamos a recuperar lo antes posible”, añadió también.

Dentro de una situación complicada como la que está viviendo Carlos, el murciano quiso ser optimista: “Hay que aceptar las cosas tal y como vienen. Voy aprendiendo, aprendo a lidiar con las cosas mucho mejor. Intento ver las cosas positivas aunque sea difícil. Me considero una persona que vuelve más fuerte de las lesiones. Que vuelve con más ilusión que nunca… y con eso es lo que tengo que quedar”.

Shedeur Sanders selected by Browns in NFL Draft: ‘Thankful for the opportunity for people to actually see the real me’
Shedeur Sanders finally found an NFL home.After a winding evaluation process that cast him as one of the NFL draft’s biggest mysteries — and following a huge slide that saw him bypassed by multiple QB-needy franchises — the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback was chosen in Saturday’s fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. Taken No. 144 overall, the pick comes following a draft slide that stunned even some of his most critical talent evaluators in the league.Sanders jumped into a pool with his socks on in celebration:"We live by our board," Browns general manager Andrew Berry told the media after the pick. "We felt like he was a good, solid prospect at the most important position. We felt it got to a point where he was probably mispriced relative to the draft.
