Carlos Alcaraz is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday, November 17, after a hamstring injury scare he experienced during his loss to Jannik Sinner in the title decider at the year-end ATP Finals in Turin, Italy. However, Alcaraz will still end the year as the World No. 1 in men's singles tennis.

Despite this, now, the Spaniard's hopes of representing his nation at the 2025 Davis Cup Finals appear under threat. During a break in the thrilling men's singles tennis season's finale, which Sinner won the match 7-6(4), 7-5, the reigning No. 1 called for a physio on the court, who subsequently massaged the Spaniard's right hamstring.

Later, El Partidazo de COPE reported that the six-time Major champion will undergo an MRI to understand the severity of the hamstring's condition. According to the report, Carlos Alcaraz first felt discomfort in the hamstring during his dominant semifinal outing against Felix Auger-Aliassime.

He also touched on his injury scare during his post-match press conference following his loss to Jannik Sinner in the championship match of the 2025 ATP Finals, saying:

"Well, I mean, I felt something the hamstring after trying to catch one serve. I could say didn't affect me too much, to be honest, because I could run well, I could go to the balls well. Obviously, the thoughts about how is going to be if I do crazy things that I'm used to doing, how it's going to be, those thoughts were in my mind sometimes. But I could play well."
