American Taylor Fritz had his first taste of facing world number one Carlos Alcaraz in a Miami Open quarter-final loss on Thursday and said it had been a tougher experience than facing any of the sport's former 'Big Three'.
Rafael Nadal said he hopes to battle back from injury in time to compete for yet another title at Roland-Garros after he was presented a replica statue by the French Tennis Federation (FFT). The 36-year-old is currently on the road to recovery after suffering an injury at the Australian Open in January, where he was eliminated in the second round by Mackenzie McDonald.
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz has outlined lofty ambitions for his career, saying that reaching the levels of the 'Big Three' is his benchmark. Alcaraz has enjoyed a meteoric rise in tennis, triumphing at the 2022 US Open as a teenager and is now just ahead of Novak Djokovic in the world rankings.
World number one Carlos Alcaraz charged into the quarter-finals of the ATP Miami Open with a convincing 6-4, 6-4 victory over Tommy Paul on Tuesday but second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was knocked out by Russian Karen Khachanov. Alcaraz, the defending Miami champion and also the winner at Indian Wells earlier this month, will face another American in the last eight when he comes up against Taylor Fritz. Paul came into the match having won his last 12 encounters with Spanish players, including wins over Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal last year, but he was unable to get a foothold in the contest.
Rafael Nadal has denied that he will return from injury at the Monte Carlo Masters in April, insisting that he can't put a time frame on a comeback. The 22-time Grand Slam winner hasn’t featured since a second round Australian Open exit at the hands of Mackenzie McDonald, after which medical tests flagged up a muscular injury in his left leg. Ad Nadal withdrew from Indian Wells and the Miami Open as he focused on returning to full fitness, but hopes were raised of an imminent comeback after the Monte Carlo Masters tweeted that Nadal was ‘definitely able to win his 12th trophy in Monte Carlo despite of his last injury’.
Juan Martin del Potro has said of the possibility that he could make a sensational return at the US Open as a former champion: «I still have time, I will start training, see how my leg and knee react and if I can do it or not». The hugely popular Argentine was speaking as part of an interview with South American sports reporter Danny Miche, and he delighted his many fans with the mere suggestion that he was hoping to launch a surprise comeback. Ad Del Potro, who won the US Open back in 2009, has at least admitted that he will give a return to Flushing Meadows a chance after he had to step away from the sport last year following persistent wrist and knee injuries.
World number one Carlos Alcaraz moved into the last 16 of the Miami Open after beating Serbia's Dusan Lajovic 6-0, 7-6 (7/5) on Sunday as he remains on track for tennis' "Sunshine Double."
Rafael Nadal’s uncle and former coach Toni Nadal has predicted two venues where the 36-year-old could play the last match of his career. The older Nadal also suggested that his nephew may find it difficult to step away from the sport while he is close to his peak. Ad The veteran 22-time Grand Slam winner has curtailed his involvement in tennis in recent seasons, and at the end of 2022 he suggested that he would no longer compete in Mexico as he looks to preserve his body for the remaining years of his career.
