Indian Wells: Alcaraz ‘not surprised’ by quick return from injuries

The Hindu  

Carlos Alcaraz said he wanted to emulate Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic by winning titles straight after coming back from injury, with the world number two closing in on the Indian Wells crown with his win over Felix Auger-Aliassime on Thursday. Last month, Alcaraz claimed his first title since last year’s U.S. Open by winning in Buenos Aires - his first tournament after more than three months out due to abdominal and hamstring injuries. “I look to the big players, Djokovic or Rafa, when they are coming from an injury and probably they have a great percentage to win the tournament after an injury,” the 19-year-old told reporters. “I was surprised when I won Buenos Aires, but right now, I’m not surprised at it.” Alcaraz next faces Jannik Sinner, just over six months since beating the Italian in a five-set thriller in the U.S. Open quarter-finals en route to winning his maiden Grand Slam title.
