Alcaraz suffered the injury during last week’s ATP Finals, where he was diagnosed with muscle overload and inflammation in his right hamstring. The tennis player returns home with a heavy heart. The Spanish tennis player, who made his debut in the Davis Cup in 2022, has an overall record of 6-2, with 5-1 in singles. Spain has not won the tournament since 2019. In 2023, Alcaraz was also unable to participate in the Davis Cup due to physical problems. Last year, Spain was eliminated in the first round of the Final 8 in Malaga. Alcaraz had expressed his desire to win the Davis Cup, considering it a very important tournament. The tennis player was going to lead Spain in Bologna on Thursday against the Czech Republic, seeded number 4, in the quarterfinals. On Sunday, Alcaraz secured the top spot in the year-end ranking before losing to Jannik Sinner at the ATP Finals. This year, Alcaraz won the French Open and the US Open, adding six Grand Slam titles.
