After his ankle scare in the first round in Tokyo, Carlos Alcaraz decided not to train yesterday. A decision that made the difference this Saturday, as the world No. 1 secured his spot in the quarterfinals by defeating Zizou Bergs (6-4, 6-3).
On the court, during his post-match interview, Alcaraz provided more details about the condition of his ankle:
"Honestly, it was difficult. That day and a half I had was very important to recover as much as possible. I've said it before but I'll repeat it: I have the best physio in the world, I trust him 100%. The work he did on my ankle was amazing.
I was able to play normally, which is great. I was a bit worried about my ankle at times, but overall I played good tennis, it was a good performance from my side.
