US Open: Carlos Alcaraz gives injury update after pulling out of training session

Carlos Alcaraz has played down any injury concerns ahead of the US Open after twisting his ankle in a practice session on Saturday (24 August).

The Spaniard is gunning for a third successive grand slam title after winning the French Open and Wimbledon , but had to stop his session with Francisco Cerundolo.

Alcaraz rolled his left ankle when he was stretching for a ball on his backhand wing and left the court after a quick chat with his team.

Speaking to the media on Saturday, Alcaraz said: “I think it is OK. I just stopped my practice just for precaution.”
