Carlos Alcaraz Jolt Shakes ATP Finals From the Start as ‘Blocked Nose’ Threatens to Dash Fans’ Hopes for Jannik Sinner Clash in Turin

The ATP Finals have kicked off in style, and the buzz is electric as fans watch the Top 8 players battle it out for the coveted title. But while excitement fills the arena, not all players might be feeling that same thrill—especially Carlos Alcaraz. For the Spanish sensation, it's not just the competition he's up against but his own health. With an untimely sickness hitting just before the tournament, Alcaraz is likely feeling the pressure in a whole new way. Can he fight through the setback and still shine on the big stage?

The Spanish tennis sensation is all set to play his first match against Casper Ruud on Monday. However, right before his match, Alcaraz seems to be battling with a cold. In a video that has surfaced on social media platforms, the star player can be seen wiping his nose with a tissue as he looks visibly struggling. Now, with the ultimate glory in sight, it would be interesting to see if the star player can overcome his woes and play remarkably against his opponents.
