However, after being absent from the last tournament in Acapulco due to a hamstring problem in his right leg, Juan Carlos Ferrero’s pupil has lost ground in the qualifying table with respect to his biggest rivals in the Top 10. Even so, if the physical state does not say otherwise, the one from Murcia will be present in Indian Wells and Miamiin the latter he is the current champion of the tournament, to be able to distance himself again in the qualifying table.

In the hypothetical case of going further and winning both tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami, Carlos would reach 7,420 points, compared to Novak Djokovic’s 7,160.
