Carlos Alcaraz resumed practicing a few days ago after winning his second title at the US Open, a triumph made even more memorable by the fact that he returned to the top of the ATP rankings by overtaking his main rival Jannik Sinner (who had beaten him in the final of the Wimbledon Championships during this summer).
The 22-year-old Spaniard who is having a truly excellent season so far with seven titles won does not want to lose the right concentration and is perfectly aware that he will have to play his best tennis to retain the top position until the end of 2025.
The star from Murcia will not have to defend many points between now and the end of the season, but his great rival Sinner is able to express a very high level on the indoor hard courts where he has been dominant in the last two years.
For this reason, Carlitos is practicing with huge intensity at his academy and is set to return to action at the Laver Cup in San Francisco in the second half of this month. After that, the six-time Grand Slam champion will participate in tournaments in Tokyo and Shanghai before returning to Europe.
Alcaraz has not played in Davis Cup in 2025
In the last few hours, fans are wondering whether or not he intends to participate in the Davis Cup Finals scheduled in Bologna in November. His Spain were really one step away from elimination against Denmark in Marbella, having a 0-2 deficit at the end of the first day, but they made a sensational comeback to qualify. Notably, Pedro Martinez was the hero of that tie having defeated world number 11 Holger Rune after saving a match point.
According to most insiders, Alcaraz's presence in Bologna will depend on his results in the last part of the season and especially at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. However, it is already known that the Spanish champion will play an exhibition in Newark at the beginning of December and there could be criticism in his country if he misses the 'Final 8'.
