Organisers of the ATP 500 event in Acapulco confirmed that Carlos Alcaraz and Cameron Norrie have pulled out
Top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the ATP 500 event in Acapulco on Tuesday with a proper hamstring pressure as fifth-seeded Cameron Norrie pulled out citing fatigue, organisers stated.
Both had been on the order of play for Tuesday, simply three days after Britain’s Norrie rallied to beat an ailing Alcaraz 5-6, 6-4, 7-5 within the Rio Open ultimate.
That outcome had left world quantity two Alcaraz with recent health considerations after he was repeatedly seen by the physio.
“I’ve a grade 1 pressure in my proper hamstring that may maintain me out for a number of days, in response to the exams we did this morning,” Alcaraz said in a tweet. “I’m really sad I can’t compete here, but now it’s time to think about recovering and being ready as soon as possible. I hope to see you all soon!”
The 19-year-old had returned to competitors with a victory in Buenos Aires every week earlier, ending a four-month damage layoff.
He wanted heavy strapping on his proper thigh halfway by means of the second set of the ultimate in Rio, when he collapsed from a 3-0 lead as Norrie stormed again.
Norrie, who had fallen to Alcaraz within the Buenos Aires ultimate, claimed the most important clay-court title of his profession in Rio.
The left-hander leads the ATP Tour in match wins this season with 18, in comparison with three defeats.
“Unfortunately I’ve to withdraw from Acapulco,” Norrie said on Instagram. “It’s one of my favourite tournaments, so it’s really tough for me to withdraw.”
Each participant might be changed within the draw by a fortunate loser as they flip their consideration to getting match for the celebrated ATP 1000 occasion at Indian Wells, which begins on March 8.
