Injured Alcaraz out of Madrid but hopeful of defending French Open title
Written by I Dig Sports
Alcaraz said he intends to travel to Rome for the Italian Open, which begins on 6 May, before the French Open starts on 25 May.
Even if he is not able to play competitively before Roland Garros, Alcaraz remains confident he will still be able to challenge for the clay-court Grand Slam title.
"The tennis that I've played in the past few weeks has been great," he said.
"Mentally I think I'm strong to play good tennis again, so this is not going to take my confidence away.
"If I don't play Rome, or if I don't play any tournaments before Roland Garros, I don't care about it.
"I know what is my level, I know what I have to do to play good tennis."
