Carlos Alcaraz will continue to recharge his batteries for the remainder of this week before returning to training next week ahead of what will be a busy clay-court season.<\/p>\n
Seven-time Grand Slam winner Alcaraz<\/a> opted to take a complete break from tennis following his shock third-round defeat to Sebastian Korda at the Miami Open as he admitted he was feeling the exertions of the past few months.<\/p>\n The Spaniard started the year with back-to-back titles as he won the Australian Open and Qatar Open before his winning streak was ended by Daniil Medvedev<\/a> in the semi-final at the Indian Wells Open.<\/p>\n But a 17-0 start has turned into 18-2 after his early loss in Florida and afterwards he stated: \u201cI\u2019ll probably go home, something that I\u2019m very excited about, to spend a few days relaxing with my family and friends. I don\u2019t know how much rest and days off my team will allow me.<\/p>\n \u201cSuddenly, I\u2019ll get back to the routine, back on the court. The clay court season is just around the corner. I have some very good tournaments there, and I\u2019m looking forward to playing.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, right now what I have in mind is taking a few days off, disconnecting, recharging my batteries, being ready and in good shape for the clay-court season.\u201d<\/p>\n What Is To Come<\/p>\n According to Marca, Alcaraz will return to training in Murcia early next week and he will then head to Monte Carlo on 3 April ahead of the season\u2019s first ATP Masters 1000 tournament on clay.<\/p>\n There had been suggestions that the Spaniard could skip one or two tournaments during the clay-court campaign in order to remain fresh for the biggest events, but that won\u2019t be the case.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz News<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz told to walk away from big pay days after shock Miami Open defeat<\/a><\/p>\n
