Carlos Alcaraz to return from injury at the Paris Masters before making his ATP Finals debut

Carlos Alcaraz says he will make his return to the court at the Paris Masters.

The world No. 2 made the decision to rest up and receive some treatment in order to return in time for his final two tournaments of the season.

After appearing in the French capital, Alcaraz will make his debut in the ATP Finals in Turin in November.

The Spaniard withdrew from last year’s season finale due to an abdominal muscle tear.

He then had to miss the first major of 2023, the Australian Open, due to a hamstring injury. It is fair to say, though, that Alcaraz bounced back in some style.

In his first tournament of the year, he took victory at the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires.

Another injury issue saw him lose the Rio Open final against Cameron Norrie, but, once again, he responded to his set-back well.

A plethora of trophies followed at Indian Wells, Barcelona and Madrid, before reaching the semi-finals of the French Open.

He reached the top of the world rankings and went all the way to the semis at the US Open.

So, all in all, not a bad year for Alcaraz and all that came off the back of an injury-hit start to the season.

He now prepares to return to action, fully recovered from his latest set-backs and what an ominous that thought is for his closest competitors.
