This is one of plus you get from all the hype. He gets to practice with the big boys. This has been happening since his early days.

Good for him, also good experience as well.

Mrzz,
Fonseca had a training session with Andrey Rublev earlier today, able to view only limited shots of their training session via twitter

He (Fonseca) is going to meet a young Danish player Elmer Møller in the first round. Elmer won his first tournament on Sunday and won the deciding David Cup match against Serbia for Denmark...

Yep. Tough nut to crack. Kid is playing above his ranking. In the qualies and in this tournament he just won he beat a lot of decent players.

Judging from his picture on the live scores website, he is 12 years old.

Van de Zanschulp LL (again) for the 4th time in 2025, third in his last 4 tournaments, will play Struff
Hijikata LL will play Opelka, due to the fact that both Carbelles Baena and Thompson withdrew

Yes he looks very young, but he is 21. None of us thought he had a chance against Medjedovic and was totally gone in the first set in the Davis Cup Match. But he really proved us wrong....

I know it's hard for Spaniards to hear, but he should skip it, recover and just play Rome

Agree, from what I am reading Alcaraz hasnt practiced at all in Madrid, he has no points to defend until RG,

Wow, is that serious?

Hopefully with rest and treatment he will be okay for Rome, seeing it is just a small tear, Madrid goes for nearly 2 weeks so he does have time on his side, also he has no points to defend until RG
