Carlos Alcaraz Injury Update: Spaniard to Undergo MRI After Concerning Medical Timeout in Barcelona Final
Carlos Alcaraz’s campaign at the 2025 Barcelona Open ended on a worrying note, as the Spanish star is set to undergo an MRI scan following an apparent injury during his final clash against Holger Rune.
The two-time Grand Slam champion was seen taking a medical timeout mid-match, raising concern among fans and commentators. Despite battling hard, Alcaraz ultimately fell short in the final, losing to Rune in an emotional encounter.
Following the match, Alcaraz opened up about his physical struggles, saying:
“It’s been two weeks of nonstop play, and it’s been a real challenge. Today wasn’t possible, but I gave everything I had. I don’t know if I could have pushed myself any harder.”
The young Spaniard’s emotional display after the match, including breaking down in tears, highlighted just how much the loss—and his current condition—meant to him.
Fans are now anxiously awaiting the results of the MRI, hoping it’s nothing serious ahead of a busy clay-court season that includes Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros.
