I don't think that's a topic we should be discussing. The most important thing to say is, first of all, tennis needs Carlos, tennis is much better with him. And I too... I believe that he will come back stronger than before. Injuries are always difficult, especially the wrist - it's one of the particularly sensitive parts of our tennis players' bodies, he knew how to complicate life for many,\" said Janik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is unknown when Alcaraz will return to the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"The most important thing is to take your time, not to rush your return so that it doesn't get complicated and become an even bigger problem,\" concluded the world's number one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siner and Alcaraz have crossed racquets 17 times on the ATP Tour so far, with the Spaniard leading 10-7 in wins. The Italian won his only match this year in the final of the Monte Carlo Masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-pg-tv wp-block-embed-pg-tv\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"OxTfxCwbXc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/sport\/alkaraz-otkazao-rim-i-rolan-garos-ovo-je-tezak-trenutak-za-mene\/\">Alcaraz cancels Rome and Roland Garros: \"This is a difficult moment for me\"<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&quot;Alcaraz cancels Rome and Roland Garros: &#039;This is a difficult moment for me&#039;&quot; \u2014 PG TV\" src=\"https:\/\/gradski.me\/sport\/alkaraz-otkazao-rim-i-rolan-garos-ovo-je-tezak-trenutak-za-mene\/embed\/#?secret=jELIROIfDH#?secret=OxTfxCwbXc\" data-secret=\"OxTfxCwbXc\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Janik Siner played his first match at the Madrid Masters against Benjamin Bonzi (the Italian won in three sets), his biggest rival Carlos Alcaraz announced that he would not play at this year's Roland Garros due to a wrist injury. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":955622,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[15],"tags":[1828,1963],"naslovna":[],"class_list":["post-961776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport","tag-janik-siner","tag-karlos-alkaraz"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/961776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=961776"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/961776\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":961780,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/961776\/revisions\/961780"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/955622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=961776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=961776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=961776"},{"taxonomy":"naslovna","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naslovna?post=961776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
