Interestingly, Carlos Alcaraz is also known for being a huge fan of compatriot and 14-time French Open champion, Rafael Nadal. However, he took the name of Swiss legend Roger Federer as his favourite tennis star in the viral video.

Alcaraz’s 2024 French Open triumph is memorable in several ways. He defeated the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas, Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev on his way to Roland Garros glory. Additionally, the Spaniard has become the youngest tennis player to win a Major title on all three surfaces.

Meanwhile, his 2023 Wimbledon campaign is also memorable. The Spaniard was suffering from fitness issues and it was stated that the 21-year-old would face issues on grass. However, he initially won the Queen’s Club Championships and the Oldest tournament in tennis history, the Wimbledon Championships.
