Carlos Alcaraz has fun with Jimmy Butler at the US Open preview

Carlos Alcaraz is about to begin his title defense at Flushing Meadows. Before, however, he had time to have a good time during the charity event in favor of Ukraine before the main draw competition started. The winner of the 2022 edition was joined by Frances Tiafoe, singer Sebastián Yatra and NBA star Jimmy Butler in an entertaining night full of laughter and exhibition matches.

One of the highlights of the day was when Butler, who competed in track as a ball boy, argued a point with Alcaraz and managed to beat him before cheers in the stands.

Yarta and Alcaraz were paired in doubles against Tiafoe and Butler, leaving beautiful points and unique images. The Colombian singer joked that Rafa Nadal asked him to represent him on court.

Yartra: “Alcaraz is the best”

Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra left the stage and the microphones for a day to join Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz as a doubles partner this Wednesday, where he shone in an exhibition match among past United States Open activity.

“Carlos is the best. We have been getting along for a long time. In fact, we met here last year, when Rafa Nadal invited me to see him in his first match,” explained Yatra in an interview with Agencia EFE. .

“And I also thank Carlos for helping me pick up another passion and another hobby. Obviously I will never play tennis at a professional level… But if I bring my batteries, I can play well and it’s a super fun sport”, added the artist, who ironed that it’s more fun for him to hold a racket than to go to the gym.

Yatra teamed up with Alcaraz, world number one and reigning US Open champion, on “Stars of the Open”, a night of exhibition matches in New York to raise funds for Ukraine before this Monday, June 28. August begins in the last ‘grand slam’ of the year.

Alcaraz and the American Frances Tiafoe are the main party figures.

But they, within the many jokes and relaxed atmosphere, were joined as special guests by Yatra and Jimmy Butler, an NBA star with the Miami Heat.

“It was a beautiful experience. They are the type of things that one puts on that list of experiences that you will never finish believing,” he confessed.

“I am very grateful to Carlitos for the invitation and to the US Open for all the love they have given me,” said Yatra, who will also star in the “Sounds of the Open” concert organized this Friday by the US Open.
