Carlos Alcaraz, the world No. 1 and six-time Grand Slam champion, has praised his physio for helping him recover from a concerning ankle injury sustained during his first-round match at the Japan Open. Despite initial worries after an awkward landing, Alcaraz returned to the court to win his second-round match against Zizou Bergs in straight sets, advancing to the quarterfinals where he will face Brandon Nakashima. The Spaniard credited the work of his physio, Juanjo Moreno, for enabling him to play nearly normally despite some lingering discomfort.
