Carlos Alcaraz cuts short a training session in Turin because of a stomach problem, but says he is “better and better” ahead of the ATP Finals. He tells reporters he woke up with an upset stomach and did not have breakfast, and he notes the early stop left him with a “bitter taste,” including because it happened on centre court with spectators watching.
The outlets also provide season context. One report adds that Alcaraz returned in late August from a four-month wrist injury layoff and subsequently won titles in Tokyo, Vienna and Paris. It also says he reached the US Open quarter-finals, where he lost to Ben Shelton. Across coverage, the emphasis stays on his confidence despite the stomach complaint, with some sources foregrounding his immediate comments and others focusing on his recent results and comeback timeline.
