Carlos Alcaraz is playing both the singles and doubles tournaments at the Olympic Games. Something that takes a toll on the body.
During Monday's win against the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor, the world number three was forced to take a medical timeout due to pain in the groin.
After the match, the Spaniard gave a cryptic message about the injury.
It's a pain I've been struggling with. I know what I need to do... To get rid of it, said the 21-year-old.
Alcaraz is playing the doubles tournament with Rafael Nadal, who on Monday lost to Novak Djokovic and was eliminated from the singles tournament, and already on Tuesday, it's time for the star duo to play a new match.
I'll try to recover as quickly and well as possible tonight to be 100 percent ready tomorrow, continued Alcaraz.
Tomorrow, Alcaraz will face the same Dutchman again, when he and Nadal face Tallon Griekspoor and Wesley Koolhof in the quarterfinals.
