Alcaraz revealed that he suffered swelling in his right hamstring following a grueling match against Jannik Sinner, a contest that ended in defeat for the Spaniard. Medical staff strongly advised Alcaraz to begin treatment immediately, which also includes a mandatory break from intense physical activity for a period of time.

“I'm really sorry to announce that I won't be able to play for Spain in the Davis Cup in Bologna... I have swelling in the hamstring of my right leg, and the doctors have recommended I don't compete. I have always said that playing for Spain is the greatest honor, and I was really looking forward to helping the team fight for the Cup. I’m going home with a heavy heart...” Alcaraz wrote.

The Spanish squad will face the Czech Republic this Thursday in the Davis Cup quarterfinals.
