Carlos Alcaraz was nervous. He was excited. Best of all, he was pain-free.
Alcaraz beat Roman Safiullin 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 yesterday, showing no ill effects from the right wrist injury that had sidelined the 23-year-old Spaniard since April.
“I don’t know how it looked from outside, but from inside, my feeling was that I was hitting normal,” Alcaraz said. “I was playing pretty normal, playing my style, and yeah, the arm, the wrist, everything felt great.”
