“You have to see it to the end,” invited the message on the social networks of TennisTV, the streaming channel that covers the men’s ATP Tour tournaments.
In a video shared by the platform, Carlos Alcaraz and a garbage can is in the middle of one of the training courts of the Masters 1000 ATP tournament in Shanghai, where this Saturday the Murcian will debut against the Frenchman. Gregoire Barrère.
The Spaniard, 20 years old and world No. 2, new to this event that has recovered after periods of absence due to the pandemic, is causing madness in the stands. The fans cheer the tennis player’s attempts with passion. Crazy when he reaches his goal.
In front of his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Carlos Alcaraz rehearses his signature punch. He is the current king of dropouts.
Near the baseline, he seeks to overcome the net with his forehand shot and make it fall into the trash can which plays an important role in the goal of the athlete and the passion of the fans.
The first three drops went in, but the ball didn’t fall into the container until the fourth attempt. A way to tune your shot for competition. Another way of working for Alcaraz, as simple as it is effective.
An entertainment for those present, based on how they accompany each ball with gestures and cries of admiration and excitement. They were happy to see how it ended up in the trash. As if it was a Grand Slam victory.
