Carlos Alcaraz is probably the player with the most charisma in tennis today.. His spontaneity and his manner of behavior on the court helped him to be idolized and admired by fans, among whom there were also celebrities from the world of cinema.
This is the case of Steve Carellwho is in London today to promote the movie ‘Gru 4: Despicable Me’, and He did not hesitate to praise the champion of Roland Garros.
“What I like most about Alcaraz is that when he loses a big point, he shows that he enjoys it“explains the main character, among others, of the series ‘The Office’.
For Carell, “Alcaraz looks like a child the way he plays. You can feel the childishness of the game with him.”. Win or lose after a good trade, smile. You could feel he was enjoying every moment.”
The reigning Wimbledon champion will face Aleksandar Vukic in his second round on Wednesday28 years old and No. 69, where he lost in the qualifying phase of Roland Garros in 2020.
The ‘Aussie’ of Montenegrin origin and university background in the United States delayed the Paris debut of the Spaniard, who had already suffered a major setback in the previous edition by failing to win the junior category.
They went down 4-6, 7-6 (5) and 6-3, with the added bitter taste of letting a match point slip away. He has settled accounts with Roland Garros, a few weeks ago, he lifted the Musketeers Cup as champion, he also wants to start balancing forces with Vukic, leaving that memory.
He really wanted, at almost 17 years old, to endorse the step forward he was taking. They stopped him dead. “You could see it was going to be special. At 17 he was destroying the ball. Intuited that something big was going to happen, and two years later he was world number one. It’s crazy,” Vukic points out on the official website of ATP.
Note that they have a friendly relationship. “I trained with him in Beijing. He is a super nice guy. I have a lot of respect for how he behaves with everything,” says the Australian, a chess lover, who “I practice when I can.”
He survived a match point against Sebastian Ofner to reach the crossroads with Alcaraz, the long-awaited Carlitos, who wants to beat, now, Vukic.
