"The body is feeling great" - Carlos Alcaraz after Italian Open 2R win
The 2025 Italian Open second-round clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Dusan Lajovic marked the Spaniard's return to competitive tennis action following a brief spell out that saw him miss this year's Madrid Open. After he triumphed against the Serb in Rome, Alcaraz was asked about the physical shape he is in, to which the Spaniard replied:
"The body is feeling great. I moved well and made a few good sprints today without any pain and that is great. It was a test for me and I think I passed the test. I tried to feel more comfortable on the court. Moving and not thinking about the injury."
Up next for Alcaraz in the Italian capital is a third-round clash against another Serb in Laslo Djere. The Spaniard has faced Djere on two previous occasions on the ATP Tour and won both matches. Their latest meeting came in the Round of 16 at the 2025 Barcelona Open, which Alcaraz won 6-2, 6-4.
If Alcaraz manages to beat Djere again, he will go on to face the winner of the match between wildcard Francesco Passaro and No. 23 seed Karen Khachanov.
