Some of the most renowned tennis players on the circuit have shared their feelings after the 19-year-old’s coronation. The Murcian indeed confessed that one of them had texted him at the end of the final.
The world of tennis could not resist the explosion of Carlos Alcaraz. Out of envy or mistrust, great white sports figures took a minute to congratulate the new monarch of the ATP circuit. The youngest number one ever, second-youngest US Open winner and Next Gen leader is having his stellar moment and his teammates and rivals are cheering.
The first to do so was Rafael Nadal. The manacorí is the mirror and the rival of Alcaraz. Both represent generational change and at the same time they are the hope of a country that already assumes that there will be no empty time between the withdrawal of one and the boiling of the other. Spain had, has and will have a champion present.
That’s why what the 22-major winner said got a lot of attention. “Congratulations on your first Grand Slam and on number 1, which is the culmination of your first great season, which I’m sure will be many more! “, he wrote on his networks accompanied by a photo of Alcaraz with Ruud during the awards ceremony.
Kyrgios, the seer
Before the start of the US Open, many wondered who would be the champion of the last major of the season. In the midst of this period of bets and questions, Nick Kyrgios decided to join the debate. He shared a post where six players were listed and clearly wrote “Alcaraz”.
Two weeks later and with the title already in his possession, the Spaniard confessed that the Australian hadn’t forgotten his prediction. “I opened Instagram direct messages and saw a message from Kyrgios. I didn’t read it all, but I saw that it said, “I told you “, confessed the Murcian during the press conference after the final.
Schwartzman and Coco Gauff also congratulated him
Diego Schwartzman and Coco Gauff are other players who have dedicated a few words to the ‘Carlitos’ milestone. The Argentine watched the game on TV and shared a video while watching the match point and wrote: “What madness!!! Congratulations Charlie ”.
The American, for her part, shared a post on her social media where the 19-year-old boy is seen with the title and a caption that reads, “Unbelievable ”.
