Alcaraz trains with Cobolli and Draper in pre-season

Carlos Alcaraz has begun his pre-season preparations. The Spaniard has lofty goals for the new year ahead, including winning the Australian Open, the only Grand Slam he lacks.

He began physical training on Monday, and will be back on the tennis courts this Thursday at the Ferrero Tennis Academy.

To play with him, he will be surrounded by two other talents, Flavio Cobolli and Jack Draper, both of whom have had excellent seasons.

Cobolli is now a regular at the Academy, having trained with Alcaraz last pre-season.

Sinner will not be present in Spain, unlike in previous years. The Italian has chosen to prepare in Dubai, then fly directly to Melbourne.
