He wants to try to be ready for Wimbledon,\u201d said the 1997 US Open runner-up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a little bit disconcerting because he\u2019s gonna miss Paris, that\u2019s an extra two weeks away, which is a total of four and a half weeks off right now with the injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs he gonna have enough time three weeks afterwards to get ready for the Wimbledon Championships? Hopefully he will be back for the grass court season, but this puts a lot of things in doubt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFingers crossed by about the second week of Paris, he\u2019s already into his stride. Also when you\u2019re playing on clay, there are long, drawn out rallies on the grass court. It\u2019s a little bit shorter. It\u2019s a little bit sharper as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/everything-iga-swiatek-said-madrid-open-retirement-illness\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Everything Iga Swiatek said after retiring at Madrid Open due to illness<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s physical trainer has shared a message on social media following the 22-year-old Spanish star\u2019s withdrawal from&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":630419,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-630418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
