Alcaraz leaves the Rio Open after spraining his ankle. The current Wimbledon champion walked to the bench, asked for medical attention and tried to continue the match after being bandaged.
His farewell came after his match was postponed for more than two hours due to the drizzle that fell on the Brazilian Jockey Club. The 20-year-old Valencian hoped to begin his return to first place in the world rankings in Rio, as he is hot on the heels of Novak Djokovic.
