Carlos Alcaraz has dismissed all the injury fears surrounding him as he made an emphatic opening to his bid for a third grand slam title at the French Open.
The young Spaniard's participation at Roland Garros had been in some doubt after he pulled out of the Italian Open with a forearm problem, but he showed no sign of discomfort as he crushed American JJ Wolf for the loss of just four games in a 6-1 6-2 6-1 trouncing on Sunday.
The only sign of the 21-year-old's recent troubles was the sight of the protective sleeve on his right arm, but the Wimbledon and former US Open champion looked immaculate as he hammered down five aces and 27 winners on Court Philippe Chatrier.
