Carlos Alcaraz’s emergence as the athlete of the moment on an international level has caused many eyes to direct to El Palmarthe town where he was born 19 years ago and where he grew up and started playing tennis.
The phenomenon that formed around Carlitos, as he likes to call, leading the municipal board to propose the construction of a public tennis center.
Appearing on the court and announcing its origin every time it appears to play a match against the ATP circuit has put this district of Murcia, with more than 24,000 inhabitants, at the center of the world map of tennis and It is a root that must be exploited.
This is how they think in their town and, in fact, from the municipal board headed by Verónica Sánchez Mínguez, the mayor of the village, they are considering building a public tennis center with the name of the one that is now th six players. in the world.
“We will fight to have some tennis courts that are yes or no that bear his name and we will not decide to simply call the Carlos Alcaraz municipal sports center, as proposed.. This is the perfect time to give the district public tracks for this sport and which should clearly bear the name of our champion ”, admits who has been in charge of the Palmarian board since November 2019.
The representative of the Ciudadanos political party and will be 45 in a few days, on May 27, is also enjoying the victories achieved by his most famous neighbor, a feeling in which the whole town participates.
“Carlitos has brought fun and harmony to El Palmar and it’s something that can be seen on people’s faces. What you are doing represents an incentive for us from this district and there is no doubt that its achievements are a reason to be smiling all day and, in addition, it does a lot of good for El Palmar because it puts us more on the map and a lot of people are typing name our district to identify it and find out what is the place where he was born and grew up, ”he said.
“These days, wherever you go, you see people talking about what this kid has achieved and there are constant signs of congratulations and I’m still talking about those who have never seen a tennis match in their lives“, he adds while acknowledging that” from El Palmar we bet on him and he is not disappointing us “.
The town located at the foot of Puerto de la Cadena and where for a long time there is a segregationist movement that seeks to be independent from the municipality of Murcia It was especially named for its hospital, the Virgen de la Arrixaca.
It is the main reference health center in the Region and one of the most unique in Spain, leading in terms of organ donation nationwide, and with that leadership we should add tennis along with Alcaraz.
Undoubtedly, the phenomenon represented by this athlete is priceless at the image level and can be a point at which to build projects.
“Having Alcaraz walk the El Palmar name around the world as he does is the best image campaign we can do.. He is a boy who is always ahead of his people and does it with pride, ”said Verónica Sánchez, who has known the Alcaraz Garfia family for many years.
Triumphs always encourages us to follow in the footsteps of their givers and that is why we consider exploiting the root and responding to a request that will surely grow as the champion from Palma wins trophies.
“In town there is the Real Sociedad Club de Campo, the Pichón Shot as it is known, where Carlos started playing, but it is a private facility and we understand that there should be a public tennis complex. and so we asked the City Council of Murcia. The proposal is, with a logically possible location in the village, and we want it to be a project ”, suggests a proud mayor of the village to what one of his neighbors has reached.
As such, after gathering more than 2,000 people on Sunday to watch the Mutua Madrid Open final on a giant screen located on Pintor Pedro Cano Avenue, the experience will be repeated at Roland Garros, a Grand Slam tournament that will feature Carlitos starting next that week and where he seeks to continue his winning streak.
“We will meet again to follow what he does in Paris, of course“, advances the mayor, waiting a moment to pay tribute to the tennis player.
“From the municipal board we have something to prepare for him, a good salute as he deserves, but we must remember that his agenda is busy and we have to wait for the right moment,” he warned.
