Returning from recent abdominal and hamstring injuries, he was at his best early and late as he moved through the gears, treating the expectant crowd to the full range of magic that helped him claim the 2022 year-end No. 1 in the ATP Rankings.
“It’s a great feeling to win again,” Alcaraz said post-match. “It’s been a long time for me with no competition, with no matches, just recovering. Finally I got my first win of 2023.”
“I’m really happy [in Buenos Aires],” Alcaraz said. “I didn’t expect such a great crowd, a great atmosphere behind me. So I just can say thank you to all the fans here in Buenos Aires for the warm welcome that I received in this first match and I hope to keep going with this energy.”
After an abdominal tear ended his 2022 season after the Paris Masters, Alcaraz picked up a hamstring injury during his preparations for the Australian Open. He lost the top spot in the ATP Rankings to Novak Djokovic during his time on the sidelines, but now begins his charge to return to the pinnacle of men’s tennis.
